Finally. It’s sixth period and the day’s almost over. Students concentrating and studying fill my classroom with complete silence — well, almost silence.

“Don’t worry, maybe it won’t be THAT loud,” I tell myself.

Nope. Seconds later, a fierce noise echoes and seems to amplify throughout the classroom. “Grrrrrrrrrrrumble.” I quickly grab my stomach, hoping that nobody realized the noise. It’s 1 p.m., and I’m starving!

No matter how much of the community’s tax money is spent “fixing” the “main” problems at our school, they fail to meet one need — our lunch schedules. Yes, they’ve improved the food, but it’s pointless to eat if you’re not hungry, and then get hungry at the end of the day. Lunch is supposed to last you until dinner or at least until an after school snack.

Right now I have A-lunch which is at 10:30 a.m., but B-lunch is at 11:25, which is the normal lunch hour. In the summer I don’t even get up before 10:30. I suppose that if I’m stuck with A-lunch, then I guess that I just won’t eat at A-lunch hours. So I guess the government’s plan for obesity resistance is finally working (one way or another).

If the lunch hours were later, parents wouldn’t have to spend extra money buying those after school snacks; they’d just have to make a bigger breakfast.

So parents, please convince the school to change our lunch hours so we can make Bullard High School a better place. Until then I better start shopping for some smaller pants.
