I don't know about you guys but when that bell goes ' Ding! Ding! Ding!' Signaling its lunch time and I'm just coming from second period, I'm ready to eat! My stomach constantly growls as I take in the aroma of food and wait in the eternal life long line that's so long it could wrap around the school at least once. An hour long for lunch sounds good right? I mean it gives your smoking brain that's about to malfunction a break, am I right? Sure. Yeah why not? It's an whole hour of lunch! Why wouldn't it be okay! But it's no fun when you have to stand on your two feet for 30 minutes or more just to get food.
We need to have at least four to five lunch lines open with the number of kids that attend my school. I don't know if the staff needs to set up a concession stand and sell food or what. They just need to do something because not a lot of students get to eat at all. I don't even get to eat lunch sometimes and the effect it has on me isn't good. I get headaches and I sometimes fell weak with the emptiness of my stomach. And that effects how I perform in my classes. Me not being able to focus
and constantly massaging my temples to relieve somewhat of the pain.
We shouldn't have to suffer. The principal should have some of the staff members fill up five or six carts of food to help with the lunch lines. This may not get everybody but it'll knock some of the people out of the way so that the lines can along faster. Two weeks ago, I was in line for lunch and that day I didn't get to eat at all. Third period I have band. I uncased my instrument, got my music out and started walking to my chair. While doing so, I felt weak all of a sudden and I felt myself falling. Luckily someone was there to catch me and help me balance myself. Long story short, I almost passed out due to not eating.
As teenagers we're still growing and eating is an important ingredient for us. If the staff members don't make some adjustments to how they can make the lines go swifter a lot of us could get sick. This'll look bad on the school because they have multiply opportunities to change things up and they choose not to.
