It\u2019s the most exciting half hour of the day to everyone. There\u2019s just one problem: there is no time. Most students don\u2019t eat breakfast, so lunch is their first meal of the day. This year, 7th and 8th grade students have lunch during 5th hour (12:20 p.m.) at Unis Middle School. Many students don\u2019t eat breakfast, so, during class time they are usually tired, lazy, and of course, hungry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2016\/01\/IMG_0453.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-613\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-613 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2016\/01\/IMG_0453-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0453\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2016\/01\/IMG_0453-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2016\/01\/IMG_0453-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2016\/01\/IMG_0453-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2016\/01\/IMG_0453-280x210.jpg 280w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2016\/01\/IMG_0453-660x495.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Studies show people that didn\u2019t eat breakfast are tired and cranky. While the ones who ate breakfast, are more positive and have a lot more energy than the ones who didn\u2019t eat breakfast. Eve Taha, an 8th grade student quoted, \u201cWhen\u00a0I don\u2019t eat in the morning, I lose focus and feel lazy.\u201d she added, \u201cDuring lunch, there\u2019s barely enough time to eat our lunch and snacks.\u201d and i definitely agree with that.<\/p>\n<p>During lunch time the kids are all excited and running in the halls on their way to lunch. As they get to the cafeteria, the lunch line is as long as the width of the cafeteria. This is what makes us students eager to cut in line to get their lunch. Fatma Almachy, a 11th grade student, quoted \u201cLunch is where I chat and have cheap laughs with my friends. Although, I don\u2019t get school lunch because of the line and the time I have, so I bring a small snack from home and munch on that during my lunch time.\u201d This is a great idea, for those who bring their own lunch they have all the time to eat without having to wait in line. And the line would be a bit shorter for the ones who eat school lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Time. Our lunch time is from 12:20 to 12:50, thirty minutes isn\u2019t enough for many student. You might think thirty minutes is more than enough time to eat. But after long hours of learning and listening to the teacher, you\u2019re going to want a break to talk with your friends, and the line is the longest part of this all. The line takes at least 10 minutes with all the people cutting in front of you. Aliaa Taleb, also an 8th grade student explained, \u201cI\u2019m usually one of the last people in line, and by the time I get my food and sit down, Mr.Blessing (assistant principal) starts dismissing tables to their classes.\u201d She also added, \u201cDearborn schools should add at least 10 minutes to our lunch time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unis Middle School should have extra time for lunch. Knowing how students are feeling about the time and all the amount people in the same lunch, we should do something about about it. The way Fatma Almachy brings her own snack for lunch so she doesn\u2019t waste the time she has, is a good way to save time for yourself and for others. There are many ways of changing the problem and finding the solution. All we need is time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lunch, the time of day to boost our energy and chat with our friends.
