Peer Letter to Editor
I
am writing a peer letter to the editor on Kijani's editorial. I
agree with everything in his thesis statement, I think that doing
extracurricular activities help you get along well with others and
that it opens the door of your success. That is also helps you
emotionally, socially and academically. These are summing up what
extracurricular s can do for you as a whole.
Heath I fully agree that it promotes good self esteem and helps get
you into shape. Though that depends on what type of extracurricular
it is. It could be sports related or maybe something like dance or
the drama and arts department. Or maybe its band. There may be things
going on in there life and may be they think that that activity is
the only thing that they have that they really enjoy and are truly
passionate about. Its not something that they should be forced to do
but something that they love to do. If a parent wanted their child to
join the chess club. And the child wanted to join the basketball
team. The child would more than likely not do well in the chess club
since that’s not where their passion was. The statement quoted “an
idle mind is the devils workshop” is similar to”idle hands is
the devils playground”Basically meaning that if your bored is when
you are likely to get onto the most trouble. So extracurricular
activities are very important it gives you something else to do other
than homework and studying and I'm all for that. When you have
something to do that’s productive that you don't like then get
something that’s productive that you do like and that's good for
you.
Another reason extracurricular are good programs to get into is that
they look very good on your college resume. So when employers look at
them they can see all of the credentials that you have.
There is another key factor about the importance of extracurricular
's is that you have to be a very patient person. If you don't have
patience then you will have to find some along the way. There is a
lot of team bonding that is involved with extracurricular activities.
And in order to do well in the work place you need to have good work
ethics and that involves having patience.”Patience is not the
ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while
waiting”(Keene) Most jobs in life require patience and its more of
a “bare necessity” in life. Patience also ties right in with
teamwork if you don’t have patience then teamwork is literally
impossible. “If everyone is moving forward together then success
takes care of itself” (Henry Ford) See if if everyone is moving
forward together which is the key word everyone on the team may not
be good at the sport or playing the instrument but that’s where
patience comes into the picture. So in conclusion there is a lot of
reasons that extracurricular's help you in whether it be sports chess
or band. The help you become a well rounded individual which is a
good thing to aspire to be in life.It helps relieve some stress that
may have been on you and it gives you a very special way to express
yourself in a very different and unique way.
Sincerely,

What Makes Extracurricular Activities Important?
Kijani
Extracurricular
activities are very important to the growth of a child, they help
them, emotionally, socially, and even academically. They help kids
learn to be patient, get along with others, and participate in team
work. Extracurricular activities could be your ticket into college. A
lot of people think that the only way you will succeed in life is if
you are the smartest person and go to college. But if you are doing a
lot of extracurricular activities then it opens up more doors for you
to become successful, like you can get a sports scholarship, or a
band, or choir scholarship, all kinds of things.
Also
extracurricular activities such as sports are a benefit to your
health. They will keep you in shape, and maybe it will boost some
kid's self-esteem. Also sports are like taking a break from all the
stress from whatever is going on in your life, like keeping up with
school. I think that every kid should participate in extracurricular
activities, but they should not be forced. If they were forced I
think that they wouldn't really try and it would just be a waste of
time. Then doing extra things could keep a kid from being bored, and
an idle mind is a devils workshop. Plus you won't really have time to
get in trouble because you will be practicing all the time and then
when you're not practicing you should be at school or doing something
constructive.
Also
extracurricular activities look good on resumes, and applications,
plus they can make a person tough if you are playing a rough sport
like football or rugby. Then it can help you have patience especially
if you are in band or choir, because you have to practice your shows
for at least a few months before you can put on a show. Also it's
been proven that people who play sports or are in band are smarter
than normal students, because you have to be eligible at all times
which means that your grade must be above a certain percent. Plus it
pushes students to do better because they know that if they do bad
they won't be able to play sports, and that might be a little push
that a student needs.
