When the bell rings for first lunch the first thing I think is where do I want to eat? The cafeteria or McDonalds? It takes less than 10 seconds to make my final decision. As I leave the school because I am a senior and it is a privilege to leave the school for lunch, I see underclassmen juniors, sophomores and also freshmen leaving for lunch. The first question that comes to mind is, “Aren’t seniors only allowed to leave?”
As a senior I do believe that open lunch is a privilege, and we are allowed to have privileges that others do not have, such as the senior parking lot, cutting in the lunch line, leaving for lunch and so on and so forth. As a senior, I put a lot of time in to making it and I am bothered when underclassmen abuse it because they want to go to lunch somewhere other than the cafeteria.
Underclassmen say that they would like to leave because they have earned the same privileges as seniors, but how have they earned senior privileges when they are not seniors? Seniors earned these privileges by being SENIORS! Seniors have spent three years eating in the cafeteria and following the rules, and now that we have the privileges to be trusted to eat out side of the school grounds and return back on time we abide by those rules.
Seniors state that that when they were underclassmen they would also skip with the seniors. They also stated that the seniors did not have a care in the world about if they did or didn’t. But what is the penalty for seniors to take underclassmen with them during lunch? What would happen to the senior privileges? Will they be banned or changed?
So to sum up everything that I have talked about we seniors love our privileges and we love that it is only us who are allowed to use them. To have something that someone else has to work a little bit longer to receive is an honor. When underclassmen became senior’s maybe they will understand a little bit more why I am trying to stress my point. For the privilege to be taken away would be heart breaking for senior’s, and also for underclassmen who will be senior’s someday. No more senior lunches? I think you can figure out the rest.
