announcement of the mandatory extracurricular activity came. Although seeing the students' agony, we did well. Or not. All kids aren't fortunate enough to have no responsibilities. Taking care of family, how to get home, and having fun; these all are in students' minds. We should care for them, and although our views don't align; we do care about one thing. To feel happy about what we have done. Students should not be required to have a mandatory extracurricular activity. No matter how different our childhoods

A plethora of schools face the challenge of deciding if extracurricular sports should be retained, or taken away.

It was a beautiful, sunny day in South Florida. I was six years old, playing by the pool with my new puppy. I loved swimming in the pool almost every day after school. I also enjoyed going out on our boat after school or crossing the street and going to the beach. My father came home one evening with some interesting news. Now, I do not remember exactly how I felt about the news at that time, but it seemed like I did not mind that much. He had announced that we were going to move back to my birth

As fun as school activities are, I also do some things when I’m out of school. I do things such as boy scouts, I participate in church activities, and I play travel soccer. These activities help me rely on myself, mature as an individual, and also keep me in shape! They also help me relieve stress whenever I need something to do besides activities at school.

A vast majority of middle and high school students are sleep deprived. High school students wake up at 6 or 6:30 a.m. every weekday, go to school until 3 p.m. or later. Then some have sports, a job, and other important activities. There has been much debate over whether or not schools should start later or not. As a senior in high school, I go to school from 8am to 3 p.m. every weekday, then go to work from 4p.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. most nights. Then I’m expected to come home and do two to three hours

Moreover, teachers also reported a decrease of “problem behavior at school” (Keating et al., 2002, p. 730). Based on this outcome, Keating et al. (2002) concluded that “mentoring was successful in helping to decrease problematic behaviors” (p. 730). Study # 2 In 2014, Coller and Kuo presented a study on “the development
