Is school really that bad?
School can be demanding, but also very rewarding. Although homework and school activities may be time consuming and difficult, they can also be quite enjoyable, and a huge payoff in the future.
Sometimes I feel like my homework is strangling me. It seems that I am buried in a pile of it that I will never escape. When this happens, however, I just try to think of the ways it is helping me to grow as a person. Doing homework can help to improve a person’s work ethic, while expanding the amount of information that person knows. In addition, homework in high school prepares for a future in college where the work may be even harder.
After school activities can pay off as well. They many times are very enjoyable, and are a good way to meet new people. They are not only a good way to get in shape and make friends, but also look good on scholarships and college applications.
Although school may seem like a waste of time now, having a better career and better work ethic in the future will definitely make it all worth while later.
