Lunch With Lynch.

by Mel Nogler

All 175 seniors have a chance to eat lunch with Mrs. Lynch.
During your lunch block you get to have lunch with Mrs. Lynch and talk about anything you want, what is wrong with our school, what can we do to get better? How can we change the school for the seniors for next year?
She gets into to know you a little more. Mrs. Lynch and I have had our ups and downs to the point of her kicking me out of school, just because my behavior was not much fun.
I did not like being a junior, and I never liked that “one” teacher who always picked on me, and never really helped me out, and she gave me nothing but grief. So I have enough.
That’s When Mrs. lynch stepped in and said look, I have the power to have you removed from this school and NOT graduate. Or have you stay in this school for ever how long.
This frightened me a lot. So I drastically took measures. I thought about my education. I am the only one who can make that choice. So I began getting better, my “snotty” attitude changed, I stop being someone who I wasn’t. I thought I could make people laugh while I was trying to be the “big bad tough guy”; well I am not the class clown. And I will never be. I tried too many times to impress people that just didn’t care.
I turned into this student who didn’t care about anything. But I made a huge mistake by falling out of place, why do people care? Why do people need to know this? Its because I changed my ways, I look at all these immature freshmen, sophomores and SOME juniors,
And I realized that I was one of them, and that the way that they act, I acted. I think its pretty stupid and funny, because I neglected to care. Then I realized if people want to treat me like an adult, I have to act like one, I see most teachers (whom I’m going to keep anonymous,) favor students, yell at them, tell them that they are a “waste” of time, and that they should NOT stay in school, ive seen this, it really upsets me, that, that Teacher will not have the guts to Help that student who is struggling, and I just think that teachers used to treat me like that in my Marshfield school, and said that I was a Nobody, and that I shouldn’t graduate, and that school is a waste for me. And that is what stuck in my head, that that teacher tried to rule me, and make me give up on something that was REALLY important. I know that some teachers are only here so they gave a excellent paycheck, and not really help the students, and that they treat them like nothing.
That is why I gave up on school in my freshmen year. And again in sophomore year until I said to myself, that I have to get out of this place to better myself with better education.
And then junior year was a struggle for me, I did not want to try, I didn’t want to do anything. Until that day Mrs. lynch came up to me and tugged at my shirt and she gave me a bit of …. Things to say... that’s why I changed and im really glad Mrs. Lynch pushed me a lot more. Without her id be lost in this world. Im glad mrs lynch gave me a choice to eat with her. =)
