Essay On Professional Athletes Should Be Paid

Every person on this planet is unique and has something that they are good at. Most people, when given the opportunity, will try to pursue a career that reflects their strengths and interests. Some people aspire to be professional athletes, while others would like a science career. No matter what field one wishes to enter, however, a college degree is usually required, which in turn favors those who had high GPAs in high school.

With that being said, some students would probably still be reluctant to participate. Since PE would be a non-graded class, there’d have to be something in place to make participation mandatory. My personal suggestion is that non-participation would result in forced physical activity i.e. running
