The School Type Of Person

When the alarm clock sets off at 6:00 A.M., it's another grueling morning that follows with making the bed, washing up, dressing, and leaving to take the bus by 7:00 A.M. Sometimes, you're lucky enough to get a ride or drive yourself to school to get an extra five to ten minutes of sleep and squeeze in breakfast, hoping you make it in time for first period at 7:45 A.M. A daily routine like this is all too familiar and high school is a challenge for students, more than just academically. For four years, high school students face a similar routine of waking up in the early hours of the morning to head to school before 8 o'clock, for five days a week.

An average person spends about 9% of his or her life in school. That’s roughly 14,000 hours in school from the time you enter kindergarten, until the time you graduate high school. Growing up we almost always swear that going to school is the worst possible thing our parents could ever make us do. We thought of it as a punishment rather than a privilege. I had these same emotions majority of my school career, until I met the one teacher who made me excited to come to school every day.

You can’t see inside, but… Oh god. The implications of what this means hit you all at once, and you can’t breathe. You can’t move. You’re frozen in fear. You wonder if you should alert the bus driver. On the one hand, you don’t want to let this creep escape with his… captive. But you realize that to get to the driver, you would have to pass him, and you don’t know or want to think of what he would do to you on your way.

The primary reason for attending school is for adolescents to get an education in hopes of getting a good job.  Attendance, test scores, and GPA’s all play an important role in a student’s success in school, and if they can all be improved by pushing the start time back, then this issue should be pushed further.  The root problem of students not performing to their full potential has to do with the inability to focus from drowsiness in class due to the lack of sleep they are getting.  To support this point, Carskadon, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior, and his team, “found that students showed up for morning classes seriously sleep-deprived and that the 7:20 a.m. start time required them to be awake during hours that ran contrary to their internal clocks” (Richmond).  In other words, Carskadon believes that current high school start times go against teens’ natural sleep patterns, making them be awake at a time where their bodies aren’t ready to get up yet.  This causes concentration issues making paying attention in class harder, and kids not getting the best grades they can.  Also, sleep won’t get any

Apparently, all high schoolers can be consumed with work, studies, and socialization events. We passed through the crowds of students as we made our way to the lunch hall, a good meal would be a pleasant solution to wake up the sluggish soul. My friend was in the middle of his conversation and I was a zombie with my eyes attracted to the lunch line, when they strayed away to movement, folders and sheets of papers compelled to gravity flew out when a girl lost her grip on her binder. My first and only reaction was to leave, I interrupted my friend with a soft groggy mutter that I was going to help her, so without his response, I

At 1:10 pm their classes start, and each student sits at their desk either thoroughly bored or thoroughly interested in what’s being taught, but their all watching the clock waiting for school to end at 2:40 pm.

Up all night with barely a wink of sleep, This school, so big, I always lose my way, This dreadful program makes me want to weep! No surprise that we have a test today No time to study, this week is the worst!

I stumble out the front of the class towards the trampoline. My heart starts beating faster. My vision blurs. I can’t breathe.

As the sun is barely rising Victoria is already on the school bus going to Catalina Foothills High School in Tucson Arizona. Finally, by the time third period is practically over she begins to wake up and feel ready to learn, but the school day is already halfway at an end. Seventy percent of teens aren’t getting enough sleep and this could be contributing to why they can’t focus or retain information in their first classes like Victoria (O’Neill 1). Whether or not school should start later to fix this problem has become a large debate in today’s society. Later start times are beneficial for adolescents because it will decrease rates of sleep deprivation and fit their biological rhythm, as well as bring importance to the issue, even though

Picture this, students sit like sloths in a cold, dim lit room, tapping their pencil to the beat of their pulse struggling to stay awake. Daydreams fill their brains looking out the window wishing to be somewhere else, inattentive to the world around them. Eyes stare deadly into their papers hoping for the bell to ring and class to end. Grades plummet, self-esteem drops, and a continuous cycle with no end phases the new generation into depression and anxiety. Late night on their phones, studying through the night, watching their clock tick past midnight until the morning sun, only to wake up sleepless with a whole school day ahead of them filled with tests, quizzes, and learning. Many think of this as a part of growing up and life, but in reality, it is torturous. So, who wouldn’t love to wake up with barely any sleep and go to school? We can only imagine how ecstatic and lively our students would be to get up for school if they were able to get a sufficient amount of sleep every night.

I sat on the chair by the door, and I started to rethink what I did. It was a cloudy day and I walked on the bus and sat. Then I got up and walked up to the bus driver and asked. "What would it take to for a bus to break down." He replied, "Probably if the tire

The inside of the bus was so cramped with so many people, its really starting to smell in here. My back is pressed against some other chum. God! It smells awful in here. The ride must be over by now. I periodically gaze out the window, just one more stop. I get off and flee from the horrid smell of the bus to the Metro station, a couple of people behind are exiting from the same bus that I got off however most of them seem to not be in such a rush. I realized as I glanced back that the same guy that was behind me on the bus is running too. As I proceed to swiftly open the door, I turn around to see that he’s a foot 's length behind me.The train is right there, I can’t open the door for him, who knows if I’ll even make it on time. I run unsurpassed, disregard his disappointed frown, and start bolting full speed for the incoming train. Whatever I think, what’s the worse that can happen?

As a student, I have always struggled in school and never paid much attention in my classes. I never had very much motivation to go to school. When I was at school, I never listened to what the teachers were teaching. I never really paid attention and did my work. Instead I spent my time in class doodling on my papers. Throughout all of my schooling, I cannot remember a single year where I have missed less than twenty days of school due to me

I was once a problematic kid who mixed with bad company and flunk tests. I never thought about what I was going to do the next day, what more when I grew up. Of course when I was younger, I had lots of dreams. I wanted to set up my own company, I wanted to be a teacher, I wanted to be able to drive an airplane and the list went on. But as the years went by, they became less insignificant to me and soon, I forgot every single one of those dreams and goals. I got to a new school and knew friends who smoke and took drugs. My grades started dropping from “A” to fails. But I did not care. I could not be bothered by then. I went partying every night and got home drunk. What was the point of studying? My parents are
