At Franklin High School sports are taken very seriously and being a five foot three senior it’s not as easy to make the school’s teams anymore for sports such as basketball and volleyball.

I think it would be amazing to become a Warhawk, to attend the football games in white and purple, to meet new people, to get involved in sports and clubs, to generate ideas to help improve the school, and most of all to be a part of an excellent college where I can receive and incredible education while helping others get one

While some believe that athletes should have their own choice at making a decision to go pro straight out of high school, they should not do so because they will not be able to manage their million dollar contracts respectively. Speaking of contracts, the NBA should eliminate guaranteed contracts for rookies drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. They should do this because a careless high school kid, could just go into the draft not knowing, or caring on how much they are going to make, with the lack of experience on handling millions of dollars.
