Books or Sports?

                                If you would be given a second life, which do you prefer a sporty person but not that an academically inclined, or an academically inclined student but not a sporty one? books or sports? If you would to ask me, which between those two options I would likely to prefer the second one. Yes, I would want to be an academically inclined student than a sporty one. It is not that I hate P.E. but because I think that I could have more benefit to be an academically inclined student than to be a sporty one. Although you would not be popular unlike those who are great in playing sports, you can also make other people know you in other ways like in quiz bees or competitions. In my impression on the people who are good in sports, they often get bruises, wounds, and other pains in the body which I think could be lessen if you focus yourself in academics. Another reason is I am more comfortable with books, and as they say a book is a house of gold.

                                Let us think about the consequences when you would be a sporty student but not that an academically inclined one. One thing is, sometimes you might not get focus in your studies because you would be spending more time in sports. You might not be the smartest of the class but you could be the best in P.E. Some people think you are cool and be one of the most popular students in the campus.

                                In the second option, where you would be an academically inclined student but not a sporty one, there are also consequences choosing it. Sometimes you would be the last in the line when it comes to running. During intramurals, you might be having a difficult time to choose a sport to join because among the sports listed, you know none of them. You might not be the cool classmate instead the nerd of the class. But of course there are a lot of advantages. You might be included in one of the best 1o and you will not have a hard time catching the border line of grades. You might also be one of the best during discussions.

                                But back into reality, we will not be the one to decide on which type of student are we going to be. All we just have to do is give our best shot every time and never let failure overcome us. Always believe in yourself, be responsible of what your decisions are and always have a faith in God. Always remember, working without praying is nothing and praying without working is also nothing.
