Opinion Writing; Late School Is Better

   In my opinion schools should start at 10:00 AM rather that 7:30 AM. This change should be made as early school  tampers with students mental health and breakfast time. 10:00 AM is a better time to start our day.

Breakfast is the best meal of the day, said by many nutrition experts. The morning is the best time for nutrients to enter our body. This is true, but because of schools starting at 7:30 , students don't get to eat a proper breakfast . To reach school on time you would have to wake up at least by 5:30 AM, get ready by 6:15 and leave at 6:20. In this time many people may not be able to get ready on time and have to skip breakfast. If schools start at 10:00 AM students students will have enough time to eat their breakfast in peace and still reach school on time.

Early schools also can disrupt the mental health of the student as well as the parent's. Child specialists recommend that children need to get 8 to 9 hours of sleep everyday for proper brain function. Most Kids nowadays sleep around 9:30 to 10:00 pm and wake up at 5:00 to 5:30 am. If this is the average rate then most students don't get enough sleep. Even parents have to wake up early and assist the child.This everyday-routine is not healthy for the children nor the parents. If schools start at 10:00 am, children and their parents will get the amount of sleep required.

Although early school is a tiring lifestyle it has advantages as well. Since school starts early it ends early which means more time for extra curricular activities. Getting up early for school also gets you prepared for jobs that might need early rises in the future.

In conclusion, I would like to restate that schools should start later , for the better. Mental health and breakfast time should be catered to, as education is only possible with a active mind. The government should make this change. 10:00 am is better than 7:30 am anyway.

Meeting Nikkolas Smith

Image
  I love reading books, meeting different authors and illustrators has always been a source of great excitement for me. I had the opportunity to meet Nikkolas Smith, an American contemporary artist, illustrator and activist, who was visiting our school. Murals painted by Nikkolas Smith raise awareness about social issues and promote social change.   One of the most famous books he has written and illustrated is the book "The Artivist". It talks about a small boy solving social issues by paintings.He also helped create pictures in the movie "Black Panther: Wokanda Forever".  When Nikkolas Smith came to our school, he talked about how even us kids can make a change in this world. Then we all made drawings of the social issues we witnessed, and discussed why it is important to stop these issues. I was really inspired by the speech and hoped to make a difference in this world some day as well.

My First MUN Experience

                                                My First MUN Experience MUN or Model United Nations is a practice to know more about how the UN or United Nations works. It is a discussion between parties to find solutions on a common problem.  For my first MUN, I took part in the Conference Of The Parties 29 or COP 29. It took place from 9th august 2024 to 11th august 2024. I was very excited but since this was my first time attending a MUN, I had no idea of how to start preparing. I participated in a few training sessions, and got the big idea behind it. Here are some points that can help you understand the MUN process better.  There are three parts to a MUN, which are General Speakers List, Moderated Caucus and the Unmoderated caucus. The General Speakers List or the GSL is a list of delegates (students representing the parties) who wish to give their speec...
