text: I hope these essays give you a reason not to touch your phone while driving. It's just seconds before you realize what's happening, and there's no going back when you cant even see what's coming. It takes little to no effort to put down your phone, and the same amount of effort to stop yourself from picking it up. Drive safe!   Students that play sports, are in clubs, and do things for the community are more likely to have more opportunities than kids who don't do anything at all. For example extracurricular activities help you get to know more people and socialize. They also look really good on college applications and might help you get a job in the future. They can also help you be more responsible. More students should do more extracurricular activities to have more opportunities and have a chance to try things they have never done before.
