Why Is Homework Important

Extracurricular activities are fun, and most middle school students enjoy them. I am no exception. But most of the students need to have a priority. My priority is schoolwork.
School work is my priority because, if you don't pass, you can't do extracurricular activities, such as band or sports. Also, if you don't do well, you might not get into a good college.

    In the beginning of high school, I couldn’t understand the importance of handling my responsibilities, especially when it came to my school work. I just couldn’t find the motivation to hand in stuff like homework on time. I actually started to do less and less each school year.
