(J I realize that this was only a minor point in your response, but, as a high (B

(JAs a high school student, I know what it's like to be doing all of those (B

(Junderstand at all, what we are capable of doing. People at our school take (B
(Jthe hardest classes they can, be in band, play sports, participate in drama, (B
(Jdo other outside of school activities. If you say they don't have the time to (B

(Jtime. When was the last time you sat in the living room couch thinking of (B
(Jsomething to do and ended up watching tv for hours. Honestly, I am not the (B
(Jbest at time management, but I manage to fit everything in my schedule, (B
