5/24 Assignment

Our society is, yes, very much sports driven, and oftentimes people forget about the importance of getting a good quality education. As an educator, I believe that expectations should not be dropped just because students are involved in other activities. It is up to the student, and partly their parents, to balance their time between other activities and school-work. My parents have always told me, "You are a student-athlete, and there is a reason that 'student' comes before 'athlete'." Ones education should always come first because getting a quality education will ensure more success in the long run.
