Arrive late, leave early, Pablo Galindo

It takes time to look good; therefore, starting school at 9:00 AM makes sense. Our bodies and minds are growing and science shows, we also need our rest; therefore we should start school earlier and end school earlier.

The morning are hectic for Hector Padilla from showering to eating breakfast to brushing his teeth and more. One minute here, five minutes there -- the time adds up quickly and results in a good amount of time. Furthermore, you have to take into account the fact that an extra half hour of sleep benefits teenage bodies and minds and most importantly academic focus and alertness.

Not all students want to start school late. Some rather start early and dismiss early, such as Andrea Galindo. Andrea thinks that it’s better for her to get in early so that way she has more of time after school for homework and chores. Students, who agree with Andrea, state that being responsible students and members of their families is a priority for them and the morning sacrifice is worth the extra time after school, even it's just thirty more minutes.


It's too bad we can't have the best of both worlds with starting school later and dismissing school earlier -- this would put an end to opposing views and make all of the students happy.

Desert oasis, Pablo Galindo

You call this a snack bar? Photographer: Caleb Lottie-Hill.


Really, it comes downs to quarters, dimes, and nickels . . . pocket change could save the world or at least the lunch program at College Park or take it up a notch . . . an oasis in a desert filled without skanky food . . . a snack bar.

Snack bars have proved successful at other schools. Think about it -- no more tardy students in the morning, because they don't have to rush to the store to buy some chips for their lunches. They could buy the food they want here on campus . . . at the College Park oasis of a snack bar. Variety is key, when it comes to the taste buds of 325 students. A snack bar would meet that need.

Currently, students at College Park are starving of thirst for non-skanky food and soon may die. We need to give them an oasis -- a snack bar.
