Diploma before Driving?

Have you ever been incredibly busy? What if you had to be somewhere and no one else could get you there? This would present a lot of problems. If we couldn’t drive during high school, then we wouldn’t be able to support our high school at after school events as well. We would not be able to do as many extra curricular activities after school. Lastly, we would have a tough time developing skills that are needed in the work place. We should be able to earn a driver’s license without a high school diploma.

The first reason I feel strongly towards driving in high school is school support. If we can’t make it to the concert or to the game because our parents our busy then it would not be as meaningful to earn a scholarship outside of academics. We wouldn’t need an athletics team because no one would make it to the game. People would argue that we would probably have more time to do homework if we didn’t go to as many games, but I both disagree and agree with that. I think that our ability to manage our time would probably go up. Many adults have to be good at managing time if they want to be successful. I believe that if we’re supporting our school then we probably are involved with it too.

All work and no play will make Jack a dull boy and Jill a dull girl. We need to have fun in high school. Not only by going to the dances, but by being on student government and helping to plan and throw the dance. If we can make it to the game to support your team it would be pointless to find out that there is no team because no one could drive themselves home from practice. It would help our parents out if we were a little more capable of doing things ourselves. We would develop skills that are necessary in the work place if we could make it to parties and dates.

One of the most important issues that we as Americans face right now is the economy. We would have a better economy if we were able to develop the skills necessary in the work place at an early age. If we were able to drive ourselves to a job regularly we would be able to practice skills in the work place. If our parents have a car for us to take, but they can’t take us we would need to be able to ourselves there.

I think that there are many benefits to driving during high school. Not only can we get ourselves places, but we can show support, we can participate in after school activities, and we would be able to develop people skills. I think that we should all fight for this so that we can have a more powerful tomorrow.
