much school can cause a decrease in time with family, interact with different people that
<br /> work different ways that can challenge the mind to think out side of the box
<br /> Extra curricular Activities (3 groups post -it note comments)
<br /> dominating facts, assists with opportunities, builds your future, exercise, good change of
<br /> pace /subject after a long school day, absolutely critical to find other interests beyond
<br /> school and friends in order to be happy, help with stress and can provide a place or
<br /> activity to go or do when feeling overwhelmed, less stress always fun or at least you're
<br /> passionate about it, takes time but worth it, promotes well- rounded, comp civics, self
<br /> exploration, foster well- roundedness, gives confidence to do more things, entertain while
<br /> keeping active, offers encouragement and positive self esteem, keep you doing things
<br /> you love and having fun, give me a reason to stay excited, keeps the same but makes me
<br /> crazy at the same time because too stretched activities are demanding too, gives relief,
<br /> break from usual school stress, walking, P.E. and group sessions, help me by being able
<br /> to communicate with others, fun, focus on interesting things, stuff, want to do with my
<br /> life (i.e. band), take a lot of time, too many meetings, do exercise with dog and bird, want
<br /> to read more 4 good books, unstructured time, helps life balance, new friends there,
<br /> doing something you love, they can affect life balance negatively by taking up too much
<br /> of your time, to work on yourself with people around you, work with yourself, a fresh
<br /> start, not enough time, have to choose either school or activities, good way to meet and
<br /> make new friends, put pressure to decrease total time spent with family and school but
<br /> can instill families with pride and accomplishment, have an activity that you really have a
<br /> passion for, not forced by parents, more unstructured time, balancing school, gives me a
<br /> break form stress, needing to compete for college, job making money for college, laid
<br /> back time I only use as activity for what I love working at the zoo, unorganized
<br /> personal activity (drawing, reading, working out, etc.), wouldn't be who I am without
<br /> extra curricular activities, a way for me to develop my interests and learn to be who I am,
<br /> I over commit which is difficult with having so much school work, love doing stuff, but
<br /> sometimes I forget to make time just daydream
