You hear the alarm clock beeping in your ears,
and you knock it down. All you can think is “5:30 already?” You
brush your teeth, wash your face, put on your uniform as fast as you can, eat
breakfast, run to catch the bus, and you go to school. The same routine goes on
and on every day. Waking up early everyday is very exhausting for a lot of us.
Unfortunately, if you are late, you get a punishment, such as a detention or a
warning. Some of us are accustomed, and have no problem with getting up very at
5o’clock. However, most of us believe school starts too early. Because high schoolers go to bed late and
wake up early, I believe school needs to open later than usual.
I
believe this school starts very early, and students have a hard time waking up
and being at time. Most of the students in Colombia wake up at 5:40 or 5:30 to
go to school, whereas students in the US wake up at 7:30 or 7:40. If we wake up for school an hour later, students
would feel energetic to go to school, and that gives our school a chance for students’
attitudes to improve. We would have more time to eat breakfast and time to
complete our homework.
I’m not disagreeing with the fact that
waking up early, being diligent, and starting the day early is bad. However, I
believe it is too early for students to wake up at 5 o’clock to go to school. A lot of kids don’t eat breakfast because they are worried
they would get late. If we entered late we would have time to eat breakfast at
our homes. Most kids get up and do not want to go to school
because they feel as if they do not get enough sleep. They are half awake when
they get to school and it is difficult to concentrate. For example, if
you had to stay up late at night finishing your homework, it would be very hard
to get up early the next morning.
During the holidays, you don’t wake up as
early as the days you went to school, so it is very hard to get back to your
routine. For instance, if you always waked up at 9:30 during the holidays, it
is very hard to wake up at 5:00am. It will be even harder to concentrate during
the day. Delaying the starting time
for teenagers would be a wise idea.
Mostly people say that waking up early will help
you to be a successful and a diligent person, but they’re not always right.
There are numerous benefits for waking up late instead of waking up early.
