The Life of a Park City Teenager

Every day I get up in the morning at 5:45 so that I can drive to school. Teenagers need sleep the most out of all people, there performance in school will increase dramatically if teenagers have more sleep. When students get to school they whine and groan about the lack of sleep they got because of the mass overload of homework and then topped with the two hours of sports most teenagers participate in.

 After school, I either have to ride the bus home or my mom picks me up, either way, it's a 30 minute drive. Once I get home from the long and treacherous drive, homework begins. Later, after homework ends, sports starts and I don't get home for another two hours. School is always my first priority when it comes to choosing between lacrosse, nordic skiing, or school. There comes a point though, when I really would just like to go and ski for an hour, just an hour, but my homework gets in the way. Teenagers should be able to live a little when it comes to the time they get after school, but assignments, tests, and homework are holding them back. Their dreams might not consist of science, math, or english. Their dreams might include sports or art. School and education are definitely one of the most important parts to a teenagers pathway of life, but their life after school might be just as important. We spend too much time in school and not enough time outside because when most teenagers get home, all they can think about it sleep.

My point is, the life of a park city teenager can be pretty fun, but also depriving, slow, and amazingly annoying. We, as teenagers, need more sleep!!!
