Sports that will last a lifetime by Sydney - September 2019 Scholarship Essay

If I were able to create any extracurricular activity, it would definitely be something you could do your entire life. Many sports like track, basketball, or football are fun while they last and could possibly make you some money on the rare chance that you get noticed. Many of these sports while they could make you enough money if you are a great player, they can be very detrimental to your health. Many athletes have issues with their bodies every day. A lot of athletes have to take certain supplements to maintain their body condition and those same supplements end up hurting the athlete in the long run. This is why my extracurricular would be more mind than body. It would also be a sport that you can do whether you are young, old, good, or bad.
I shoot trap and do a lot of hunting and I think it is a very lost sport. I think a rifle club or handgun shooting extracurricular could be extremely beneficial to today's youth. I believe that our world today is much more dangerous and a lot more predatory than it was even 20 years ago. I also believe that shooting can help in every aspect of your life, shooting is about precision, accuracy, practice, and mental state. Each and every one of these factors can be directly related to learning. I also believe that shooting has improved my focus in the classroom as well as with my surroundings. Every thought can affect your shot and you have to be entirely in the zone if you want to hit that target dead on. Many people own guns just to own guns, other people are very afraid of what they do not understand. I believe if we had the opportunity to educate people, the large issue of gun control that has come about because of misinformation could reach its resolution.
