An after school activity that I did back in my old high school was Unified Track and Field. It was basically a combination of different Track and Field sports for those that are mentally and physically disabled. I will admit, I had a lot of fun, I also meet some new friends there so that was good. My main events were the 100 meter run, Long Jump (which I was the worst at, I never once liked it), and Shot Put. Despite my distaste to the Long Jump, I won't say I didn't like my time there. Unlike my second sport after school, Basketball. I was never good at this, and I hated it the entire time. I only tried it to see if I would like it and I did not. The only reason I stayed for the whole season was because everyone wanted me to see it all the way through. However, I'm glad I did, because now I know that I will never be a Basketball player. Need to try new things anyway, as my mom said. In a way, kids of the current generation should also need to learn this. If they don't try, how will they learn about their future interests and potential hobbies.
A connection to the real world that I found is a website called Bright Stars. It has a page where it explains everything that they do, help making experiences for young kids to develop their brains. With different programs for different kids. This might be for elementary school kids, it's still something that connects to the real world. They are the younger generation after all, so they need to learn about things in the real world.
