  One thing I would change about high school is the time we start at. At our school, we start at 8:15 A.M. Now you might think that that is early enough since some schools start at 7 A.M. However, I think all schools, high school especially, should start between 9-10 A.M because early in the morning, all the students are extremely tired and won't be able to focus. It's been proven that students with more sleep can focus better than students with barely any sleep. It's also healthier for your body. You'll feel better even with an extra 30 minutes of sleep.

  To get this done we can sign a petition and if we get enough signatures, we can go to the school board and request a time change. Even just starting school around five to minutes earlier is good. Although this might not be completed, we can get the message through.

  However, all of this makes it sound like high school is frightening. Our school, FH, is a very good high school because we are able to use high tech electronics that not every school is fortunate enough to use. Our students have Wi-Fi and even school iPads that we are able to use. Although we start earlier compared to the rest of the high schools in our school district, our long lunch makes up for it.
