Unfortunately, most will be congratulated and are going to be told to keep doing what they are doing. When spending a small portion of your life to participate in things other than school, there could be so much more change. For an example, activities like the student council have a good say in what the school does, and the students working in the student council are given the chance to change the entire school for the better. Big changes for a school affects more than one person as opposed to just yourself. Other activities like sports are great ways to feel accomplished. This is almost a no-brainer when it comes to bringing home a win or setting a new record for your team. Young students would greatly enjoy accomplishing goals that they have worked very hard for, other than bringing home just another lousy good grade.
