My frustrations as I WRITE!!!


I am writing to explain how I feel about writing. When I write, I find it really hard to form words to extend something. When I know I have to right a paper I feel so pressured, then I wound up putting it off to the last minute. I feel as if I do a better job when I am pressured. Writing makes me confused; I am a person stuck in a wall, trying to break free. I feel like a person locked in a room with nothing in it bouncing back and forth trying to put something together.

It’s hard to explain how hard it is to try to form paragraph after paragraph. I always have so many thoughts in my head, its almost as if a person choosing to jump or not jump off a cliff. Writing for me is a gazelle running from a lion, and trying to make it out alive. It just keeps running and running until it’s in the clear. Sometimes it’s easy to get away and sometimes it’s hard. Writing is survival of the fittest. Once you start running, it’s hard to stop.

When I began to think about writing a paper, I panic and it feels like I am in solitary confinement. There are plenty of people to talk to, but I have nothing to say, my mind is trapped. I just draw a blank and began to try to think, someone could be talking to me, and I would even know what he or she was saying.  It’s really tough.

Writing is a gun trigger waiting to be pulled and once its puled it’s all over. Guns get right to the point, and keep things short and simple. I prefer to get right to the point. When it comes down to it, I just start rambling on, and as I ramble on, the thoughts just start falling into place and I began to realize its not so bad. Writing is a continues cycle to me, every time I have to write a paper, I go through the same process.

Yum Yum or Trash.

In my essay, I will try to inform about what school lunch programs really don't want us to know. School lunches are really not healthy. One of my arguments is to look at what they are serving. They serve a lot of junk and unhealthy food. They claim that school lunches cost so much money, but they make plenty of money from what they serve, even with the school lunch programs. Also what they exactly put into the lunches. Nobody knows.

What I need to find out is how much money they really spend, and what they spend it on. What the easiest thing is for school lunch rooms to do. Do they lunch people really care? Is this something that could be contributing to obesity? I am for trying to get healthier lunches!

She explains how to do and why she is doing it. She really cares about what the kids eat, and she really cares about the kids.

School Lunch


A visit to a school lunchroom at noon would quickly dispel any preconceived view of how lunch goes down in children. Most youngsters will dive for the cookies first eat a bite or two out of the sandwich and the apple, throw away the rest, and turn to the serious business of snack foods. There are approximately 25 million children in 93,000 schools who receive breakfast and lunch through the school cafeteria. Although research has shown that eating healthy at an early age helps youngsters develop good eating habits, these lunches and breakfasts are loaded with fat, sodium, sugar and are low in fiber. A nutritious diet will positively affect the performance of a student work (Sherman 18). Nutrition is the process by which a living being takes food and supplies it as nourishment to live and grow properly. The government needs to realize that good nutrition and nutrition education are two essential ingredients in a school health program and in education.

Paper Topic

Packing healthy lunches and snacks to take to school offers many benefits. What benefits? I want to know what benefits they are talking about.

I am choosing to write about school lunch. I want to know about the importance of providing a healthy nutritious lunch for students. Does it enable students to stay focused? Should school give healthy nutritious lunches and snack, or should they serve junk food. Does serving healthier lunches and snack help increase in the academic abilities. I have picked this topic not only because I love food, but also because I want to figure out more information on what is and isn't healthy to eat, and should school try to change what they serve. I look forward to doing the research...
