My daughter is on the softball, volleyball, and cross country teams at her small high school. I can't even begin to count how many hours and how much money we've invested in her school sports. Now that she is in high school, she is a member of the volleyball, softball, and cross-country teams. Some parents I know have insinuated that high school sports aren't worth the time, but I've found some rewarding benefits. For that reason alone, I believe the time and money we've spent is well worth it.

The summer before my son headed to college, I warned him about fratsMy son was a high achiever in high school and couldn't wait to head to college in the fall of 2023. He thought the frat brothers were funny, smart, and outgoing; he loved how involved they were on campus. He and his frat brothers have had conversations about how fraternities are no longer like the ones many older generations remember. His frat brothers truly seem like nice guys, and they are all highly involved with campus activities. My son made the Dean's list during his first semester in college, which can be tricky for college freshmen.
