Seniors, “They Should Know Better!”

“Seniors haven’t cleared their detentions yet and the

End of the school year is right around the corner.”

One problem that some seniors have is detentions. Jonathan Felix is a senior at South East High School that has that problem. Felix has detentions because he said, “School starts so early”. Although, he was being very sarcastic about his answer, most students get detentions because they are late to school.

That wasn’t the only reason he had detentions. He also got a few by misbehaving in class. People might say, “He’s a senior he should know better!” He actually got those detentions in his junior year. Felix said, “I had around 15 detentions before, but now I have about 11 detentions”. Felix got those few detentions cleared by going to the referral room after school and by going to tutoring.

Felix is not able to clear the rest of his detentions at this moment because baseball season is here, and he has to go to practice after school. He plays first basemen for our school’s baseball team. But he said, “I’ll be able to clear them when season is over”.

Felix said, “I’m not stressing right now about the detentions I have, but I know later on through out the year it is going to be stressing me out”. For some seniors detentions might not seem like a big deal right now because they use the excuse of saying there is a lot of time. But everyday time passes by and that time gets shorter and shorter. Then in a couple of months, seniors go crazy trying to clear all their detentions in a short amount of time.
