text: Second doing an after school activity can teach you many life lesson that will help you though the rest of your life. It can teach responsibility and the will to do better every time you do whatever you do, and that you can't stop no matter how much you want to. It can teach you how to work as a team with other people. If your're on a football team you all have to wok together to make the play go right. It can also teach you dedication to never quit anything because once yo quit once everything else becomes easier to quit, and you never want to be a quitter you will not become successful if you have that mindset. Being able to overcome and achieve whatever you want is how you will be successful. Another life lesson it will teach is doing something you don't want to, there will be a time in everyone's life where they don't want to something whether it is school, work, or even as simple as taking the trash out. You have to be able to concur that and keep going. The last lesson it will teach you is time management. When you have two hour practice or performance you still have to go home eat, do your homework, take a shower, and make sure you get enough sleep so you can do it again.
