Lo-Inyo is totally different at lunch time, in my eyes, of course. I think it’s a time for laughter, playfulness, a time for fun. But sometimes what I think is still under control, might be different for the aides. I’m mean; when we talk can we be expected to whisper? No! We have a right to be loud during lunch, and yes I think we might get a tad loud at times, but it’s our time. We are stuck in class doing whatever quietly, so when we get out to have lunch with our friends we should be able to have FUN!

And with all the girls and boys, playing around, eating and waiting in line, we just wanna talk to pass the time. Is that too much to ask? I think not. And I might just be a student but we have voices, we can turn our voices up or down, with our choice. But when people tell us to be quiet when it’s our time I see people get mad. Some of them just wanna tell them this is OUR time not yours.

But it is fun after you get use to the aides telling you to be quiet, and when I look around I see smiling faces. Sure some look hungry ‘cause they don’t like the food, but that’s a little expected. And during that time I see everyone looking around having a blast, not some boring lunch with nothing to do. I see my childhood, I see everyones life in my own eyes. And that is what Lo-Inyo is like for me at lunch.
