More Time through the Halls

Authors Note: This persuasive essay is about why our school should get a longer passing period between classes.

Imagine being late to your next class because your locker was jammed. Think about all the times you were late because you were coming from gym. Following this one step further, consider having your locker be on the total opposite side of the school. These are all reasons in which I think we should have a longer passing period. Not a whole lot longer though. Maybe two or three minutes would do the kids in our school some good. Again, there are many thoughts in my head on why we should be able to get a longer period in-between class to get our things for the next class.

The opening reason to my argument is that your locker could get stuck or jammed. You could actually be in a rush from your previous class and get your locker knotted up. Then you would have to get the janitor to unlock your locker, which would take even more time. Then you would be late for your next class. This is one reason why we should have more time to pass through the hallways to your upcoming subject.

To emphasize my point further, you might be coming late from gym. Your gym class might be outside at the track and come inside after the bell rings, therefore leaving you no time to change and making you late. You could also be wearing something like jeans which would take longer to change into. Another reason that works with all of your classes is that you might have to ask your teacher a question and not be able to get a pass.

Besides the result of coming from gym late, your locker could be on the total opposite side of the school. You and a whole bunch of other kids would have to walk all the way down the hall, and the whole way back in just four minutes. Also, you might be carrying books and pencils for your next class which might drag you down even more. It’s really pretty crazy when you think about it.

Undoubtedly, you would have to be on my side by now on why we should get a longer passing period. These three reasons are all very legitimate and can happen because it has even happened to me. I’m not asking for a lot more time though, maybe two or three more minutes to find my way to class ON TIME for once!
