Should Schools Provide Lunches Everyday?

School lunches should be provided to students everyday. This is because of the unwarranted stress it gives to parents when buying lunches for their children. This can lead to a decrease in nutritional value of the lunch boxes and if your child does not eat the entirety of their lunch box you wasted all that money. I will go more in depth to why schools should provide school lunches everyday.

Parents have one of the most stressful jobs in the world which is raising a child. Raising children requires discipline and focus. You need to provide a roof and make sure your child becomes a respectable member of society. However, the stress of buying lunches for their children is unnecessary. My mum works from 5 am to around 3-4 pm and she doesn’t need the additional stress of providing food for my lunch at school. This will bring some weight off of our parents shoulders and help them focus on more important matters such as bills.

With parents being stressed out about buying lunches this can lead to a lunchbox full of very unhealthy food. This is because of how easy it is to buy unhealthy food such as oreos and baked pastries. With schools the strictness and standards will be upheld to give students more nutritional and healthy food. The students will gain more from this food that the school will provide and will help them last the day longer. As tasty as junk food is, healthy food’s benefits are much more important.

Sometimes parents don’t have the money to buy lunches for their kids. With school lunches every student from every room will be supplied a lunch. This will make every student have access to lunches so that way no one will be ignored. Also special lunches could be compensated to people with special needs in terms of food.  

In conclusion, schools will be able to take stress off of their students' parents shoulders , provide actual nutritional meals and make everyone have access to food even if the parents can’t buy lunch. Schools are educational however we need the fuel in order to take in that education. School lunches should be provided not only for the students well being but to lessen the burden on the parents so do you agree school should school lunches?

One Punch Man: The Heroes Challenge

 In the first chapter of this story Saitama remembers what it was like to fight and feel the thrill of fighting. Saitama is an invincible hero who can end any battle in 1 punch yet he's unsatisfied with this. He no longer has the thrill that he once had when he was first fighting monsters and so Saitama looks everywhere for a possible monster that can challenge him yet no worthy opponent appeared. So with his frustrations Saitama goes back to sleep in his little apartment. In the next chapter I predict that perhaps Saitama will find some fulfilment in  something else other then fighting perhaps and maybe he won't be so apathetic anymore.

Persuasive Writing: Planning Stage

 

Task description

In this task we had to choose some questions from a document and then plan to write a persuasive piece of text out of it. I chose should schools provide lunches for students everyday?

Healthy me! Healthy you! Militina’s wonderful description of what it means to be healthy. He has covered all the aspects of Whare Tapa Wha, very well put together. Enjoy Reading!

 Being healthy has 3 meanings that correspond to having a balanced and content life. Being healthy physically , spiritually and mentally are all the 3 areas you need to balance. We will go one by one and I’ll explain the 3 areas.

Being fit physically is to ensure that you can live longer. There are many diets for what you want to accomplish with your body. For instance low carbs , high carbs and high protein diets are just a few examples of beneficial diets. Before you exercise make sure that you have a clear mind of what you want to accomplish with the diet you choose. Also make sure that you are exercising for yourself and not for other people. Comparing yourself to other people will lower your self esteem and can discourage you from reaching your goals. In the start what you can do to be more healthy is to have more healthy alternatives of whatever you already enjoy eating. For example if you like sweet things try some yoghurt , if you like meat cook some more boiled variations. Having more healthy alternatives will satisfy any craving you have and little by little you’ll see improvements. Being healthier doesn’t come overnight, it is a lifestyle you have to commit to. Remember to always have a few treats every now and then however focus on your diet and try not to fold.

Spiritual fitness is essential for your well being, As much as physical fitness is beneficial your spiritual fitness helps you keep on going. With the aid of Christ and the lord above along with the holy spirit they will fuel you with the power to keep on pushing on. Everyone has their insecurities and things they're not happy with so by confessing these things will help you remove the weight from the shoulders. If your spiritual fitness is not full and healthy then your physical fitness will suffer dramatically. Without proper motivation then you will never be able to pursue your fitness dreams. So make sure to take care of your spiritual well being as well as your physical as you’ll achieve much more with it.

Next we have your mental fitness which is just as important as your spiritual and physical fitness. Your spiritual fitness ties in with your mental well being as without a strong mind your spiritual fitness will neve be healthy. Without your mental fitness your spiritual fitness will never be there as you have to mentally commit to your spiritual fitness as well as your physical fitness. Without your  mental fortitude you will never exercise and without strong belief your spiritual well being will be weak and frail. You are only as strong as your weakest link so you need to strengthen your mental fitness as it is the main component of your fitness. It fuels your physical and mental fitness so you have to fuel it the most as it contributes to the success of the other two areas.

You need mental , physical and spiritual fitness in order to live a happy and humble life. Don’t expect immediate results, it takes time however if you practise with all these areas of fitness then you will see results. Fitness is a hard and gruelling journey that we all start somewhere however with perseverance and hard work you can achieve anything.
