pick 3, any 3

If I had to pick three things that bother me the most about this school, they would be 1) it is too crowded 2) there are not enough windows 3)why aren't there any trash cans in the bathrooms?

It goes without debating that Henry Clay is over populated. Walking down the hallways between classes you can't avoid getting uncomfortably close to someone's unwashed hair, or practically wilting from the stench of body odor, or even getting yelled at by the sassy little girls for "touchin' huh purse." Every year, it seems as if there are more new freshman than seniors who recently graduated. There are barely enough seats during lunch, evidently not enough classrooms (hence the little portable village out back), and most definitely not enough parking spaces. The school can't even put us all in one gym for assemblies, because it's a fire hazard! I guess the smallest change they could make that would benefit students and make the overpopulation bearable, would be to add one more minute between classes. That way, more people could use the bathrooms and go to their lockers.

More than half of the classrooms in this school do not have windows, and those who do tend to have them covered up so that the smart boards and projectors can be seen easier. This isn't something that can be inexpensively fixed, which is unfortunate, because studies actually have shown that natural light helps the body and mind alike.

Now I am aware of the fact that we don't have paper towels in the bathroom because someone set a whole roll on fire a few years ago, but there do need to be trash cans. Often times it is impossible to wash my hands in the sinks because they are filled with empty bags of chips, soda cabs, napkins, toilet paper, and makeup. Sometimes there is even trash on the floor! Sure, the janitors come and clean everyday, but by putting trash cans in the bathroom their job would not only become easier, but also it would be less of an inconvenience for those who want to use the sinks and bathrooms for their intended purposes.
