might know. Being a student athlete is honestly very difficult for young men and women to live up to. Even though it is a difficult task‚ it comes with its benefits. Young men and women learn a variety of things that they can use in life. Student athletes learn things like dedication‚ time management‚ responsibility‚ and social skills‚ just to name a couple.

Being a student athlete should be a privilege‚ a reward; it should always come second‚ after the students’ education.

Anh is a girl who is never afraid to speak out what is on her mind because she strongly believes in morality. Whenever she notices someone degrading one of her friends‚ she would use what she called “facts” or “truths” to refute and then close the argument immediately.

As athletes move on to college sports it is considered to be even more true that to college athletes‚ academic success comes second to their athletic success. This is a false perception that may be true for bigger (division one) schools but the stereotype is the complete opposite for division three athletics. Division III athletes are‚
