Why Don't British Students Like Trying?
Nobody likes a try-hard, ain't that the truth. Americans and Brits are similar for a number of reasons, but their approach to "trying" in school is one of many differences. British people are brought up to be acutely aware of their country's swashbuckling and domineering history, before being gently reminded that despite it leading to the title of "Great" Britain, colonialism is pretty darn bad. Where, US children are taught to celebrate their country's independence, positioning themselves as proud and unafraid to talk about it. British kids are taught realism is very different from pessimism without even looking at that fellow "Optimism," while Americans are dared to dream that dank American Dream.

Marching Band
In high school, joining the marching band was one of the best decisions I made. I made many amazing friends through the organization that I likely would have never met if I hadn’t joined when I did, and the experiences I received that I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t joined Marching band taught me so much that I would never have learned if I hadn’t decided to join. The hours of practice under the hot summer sun, in the cold rain, and in the freezing wind were enough to create a bond among the band that would have been hard to come by elsewhere. The strict schedule of marching band taught me responsibility and helped me learn to manage my priorities, and the ability to perform in front of large crowds weekly helped me grow more comfortable around people. Marching band positively impacted my teenage years more than most other aspects of my life.
