Entry 23: Address an Issue

In my community today there are many issues that effect me, both big and small. Small things would be things such as the late policy because I am not use to being late for school or class so I wouldn't be effect as much. However things such as not being to stay in school after 5:00 pm due to the people that goof around after school effect me greatly. First of all I like spending time after school to socialize but that's not all I do. I also stay to work, to work on my portfolio because school is the only place with enough supplies, space, and peace that I need to work in. I can't bring 3 feet tall sculpture back home to work on, due to transportation of the sculpture and also I wouldn't have materials to work with. By limiting the time to 5:00 pm after school I can't work and it slows down my process on completing a piece (Which with normal after school working time can already take 2 weeks), sculptures are the main issue but paintings also because bits hard for me to focus at home. I have to have a working space and atmosphere to work productivity. I have found holes in the policy which allows me to stay longer, until my dad comes after work. However I am still being troubled by some of the administrators from time to time for staying after school and it greatly effects my work ethic and productivity.
