Dear Dr King;

Many people believe extracurricular activities should not be funded. As for me i think it would be good for teens if extracurricular activities should continue to be funded. Kids and teens would be healthier, socialize and get along better, and also be able to know their limits.

I think that sports and extracurricular activities should be funded because it keeps you healthy and in shape. Instead of sitting on the couch watching tv for three or four hours, kids could be at football practice working out and running.

Also extracurricular activities should be funded because kids and teens also would have a better social life because they will meet kids with different intrests and dislikes and they will learn to coorperate.

Its also good for a person to know your limits and shoot for goals. At football practice you will learn your strengths and know when to stop because if you dont you will end up getting yourself hurt. It also brings your self-confidence up and matures you in many ways.

All in all, i think it would be good to fund extracurricular activities because kids need to know their limits, socialize, and they also need to be healthier. I sincerely believe that funding activities would change the fitness and health of many students in Haywood county
