This is a common phrase heard in class, mostly in the classes right before lunch. To the average, student this can affect their behavior, especially their classwork. Many believe this can play a big role in their daily routine and how they function and work, especially on important things like classwork.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To many students, their hunger is affected by the time they eat. These students include Jana Ghoul and Zeinab Eidy. Their classwork, behavior, and their mood is affected by their hunger. Jana Ghoul, an eighth-grader, stated that she gets hangry, which is a mixture of hungry and angry. \u201cWhen I\u2019m hungry I can\u2019t focus and I dose off, I start thinking of other things like food.\u201d stated Gh<a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Jana-Ghoul.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-536\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-536 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Jana-Ghoul-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jana-Ghoul\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Jana-Ghoul-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Jana-Ghoul-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Jana-Ghoul-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Jana-Ghoul-280x210.jpg 280w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Jana-Ghoul-660x495.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>oul. She added that she has breakfast if she can, but if she doesn\u2019t eat, means she didn\u2019t have time to. In the aftermath she can barely focus right before lunch. Jana also explained that we should be able to bring a snack so we don\u2019t get as hungry. She added we should be able to bring a snack as long as it\u2019s healthy and we don\u2019t make a\u00a0mess. Zeinab Eidy, another eighth-grader, always has a hearty breakfast, but she\u2019s always starving right before lunch. \u201c I always eat eggs or I have bagel and cream cheese.\u201d explained Zeinab. This plays a big role in her behavior. \u201c When I\u2019m in my class right before lunch, I get<a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Zeinab-Eidy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-537\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-537 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Zeinab-Eidy-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Zeinab-Eidy\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Zeinab-Eidy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Zeinab-Eidy-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Zeinab-Eidy-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Zeinab-Eidy-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Zeinab-Eidy-660x371.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> lazy.\u201d Eidy also stated that we should be having our lunch earlier so we can focus better.<\/p>\n<p>To many other students, including Jamil Baydoun a seventh-grader, hungry because of their class right before lunch. I spoke with Jamil and he said he is very hungry in his class right before lunch, because he has gym. He added that while he is running around and playing he gets very hungry. \u201cIf I don\u2019t eat anything before gym I start starving and I just stop functioning correctly.\u201d added Jamil. Beydoun also explained that the lunch could affect it. \u201cSometimes the lunch isn\u2019t that good and so some students just skip lunch.\u201d Jana Ghoul supported this. \u201c The school lunch just doesn\u2019t provide enough nutrition, it\u2019s not giving the benefits it should.\u201d said Ghoul. This is another reason hunger is affecting so many students classwork and their behavior.<\/p>\n<p>While most students are affected by their hunger, some people aren\u2019t affected at all. These students include eighth-grader Ali Saad and sixth-grader Fatme Dabaja. Saad informed me that he doesn\u2019t usually eat breakfast <a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Ali-Saad.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-535\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-535 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Ali-Saad-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Ali-Saad\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Ali-Saad-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Ali-Saad-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Ali-Saad-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Ali-Saad-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2015\/12\/Ali-Saad-660x371.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>but only gets hungry toward the end of his fourth hour, which is right before lunch. \u201cMy behavior is not affected by my hunger but sometimes my classwork is.\u201d explained Ali; \u201cIf I ever am too hungry I will have a snack before fourth hour.\u201d Fatme Dabaja had a similar view. She explained that she is never hungry and if she ever is, it never affects her in any way. \u201cI am never hungry, it doesn\u2019t affect me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All though most students are affected by their hunger, some aren\u2019t, so how can we fix the problem for the ones affected by it? Jana Ghoul mentioned that we should be able to bring a snack as long as it\u2019s healthy and we don\u2019t make a mess. This would refuel us and we wouldn\u2019t be as hungry. Zeinab Eidy mentioned that we should have our lunch earlier. This would help because if we eat earlier we will not be as hungry in class and before we get too hungry we can eat. Lastly, Jamil Baydoun mentioned that the school should provide better lunches that people like and want to eat. This would solve the problem because people would eat instead of skipping lunch. These are all solutions to the problem and how we can fix it. In conclusion, hunger will always follow people around and stop some people from working normally unless we put a stop to it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hussein Chami<\/p>\n<p>Middle School Journalist<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psst\u2026What\u2019s For Lunch?
