text: Adults are wiser and more experienced than kids. They have seen more issues and also have a better idea of how to solve them. One time, my cousin, Generic_Name, had to make a decision on whether or not he should join the school track team. He knew that it would be a fun experience, but also knew it would be very time-consuming. Generic_Name was also a member of both the soccer and football teams. He decided to ask his dad for advice since his dad had also been a high school athlete. His dad's advice helped Generic_Name with his decision. His dad told him that he had participated in three high school sports, and that he wished he hadn't. As a student, he struggled constantly and never had enough time to go to sports practice and finish his homework. Generic_Name's father also said that he only got about 5 hours of sleep each night. Generic_Name was glad that he had asked his dad for help. He decided not to do track after hearing his dad's advice. The previous experience of Generic_Name's dad helped Generic_Name to not make the same mistake. If Generic_Name hadn't sought out his dad's opinion, he would have struggled to do his schoolwork and would be tired during the school day. It is important to ask people for advice because most of them have already experienced many of the issues that you will go through.
