Why School Should Start Later
Do you hate waking up in the morning? High school students are waking up as early as six o’clock to begin their day. Some even earlier! The unreasonable morning start times for schools work against the natural sleep patterns of teens. Lack of sleep can result in decreased brain power, as well as an increased chance of mood disorders. Students need a recommended eight and a half to nine and a half hours to properly function (Richmond). This is why school should start no earlier than 9 AM.

The Difference You Make
We met for a conference today with a mom and a student. The student has, at least situationally speaking, anxiety that is paralyzing, and anxiety that brings the child to tears. She was sitting with her mom and a group of adults she had never met before, and we were all talking about her. This meeting could have been a case study in how we, as a society, should address and nurture matters of mental health the way we should, the way we need to; how we meet the needs of the whole child, something we don’t seem to talk about quite as much these days.

Writing Saved My Life
I have been writing for three years now. Words are more captivating than anything else that a lad like me can fathom. During my school years, I loved reading comic books and bible stories. They made me happy and added value to my life. The tales of Samson and Delilah gave me a glimpse of what happened in ancient times. In high school, my desire to read was growing, this made me to join academic related clubs to improve my learning skills. These clubs were very helpful to me and other students who joined in later. I learned so much about African history and my country, just in few week my grades changed and I began taking lead in history and geography subjects. You can imagine how a leap of faith can change a person’s life.

What I Overcame
Most of us have faced big challenges and obstacles in life, and I’m sure that you struggled with them just like me. Difficult circumstances are unavoidable throughout everyday life, and how we handle them uncovers a more profound layer of our identity and what we think about most. The greatest part of those battles may have changed our identity or how we later moved toward life. Challenging circumstances take us past our consolation zone, trigger fears, and tensions, but moreover, have the control to end up moments of truth. In this light, challenges are the extreme muses for contemplation, advertising effective lessons around ourselves.
