<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 I have interviewed Yakeen Bazzi, an 8th grade middle school student. She states that she is very competitive, she just finished her volleyball season with a championship win. \u201cI am very competitive in both sports and education. It really depends, its what people are interested in.\u201d There are many perspectives on competition. \u201d I believe competition has a great affect on me, in a good way. It motivates me to do better\u201d. Studies have also shown that students who are competitive are most likely to accomplish there goals much faster, \u201cWithout competition I wouldn’t be able to accomplish what I have accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\nI have also interviewed an 8th grade middle school student, Abass Hazime. Once on the football team, and finished his season with a 2nd place win. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m more competitive in both education and sports, they are both important to me.\u201d Competition also has a good affect to him as well, \u201cCompetition affects me in a good way, it helps me surpass most of my friends.\u201d He states, \u201cIts needed for me to accomplish my goals I have for right now, and me being very competitive, helps me not to back down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents who are extremely competitive and trying to push themselves achieve success.\u201d A statement from one of Unis Middle School\u2019s gym teacher, Kathleen Barker. \u201cstudents do succeed in their studies. One reason would be because they want to be number one at all things, not just \u201con the court.\u201d Another idea to keep in mind is the fact that sometimes our toughest competitors are our very selves. That means some students who are extremely competitive and are trying to push themselves to achieve success.\u201d Mrs. Barker believes, once again, that students competition can affect students in both education and sports in a good way, and can help them drive to success, helping students accomplish their goals.<\/p>\n
Competition affects all of us is a great way. We can be competitive at both sports and education, depends in what your interested. We can accomplish our goals and drive to success because of this one factor we have, competition.<\/p>\n
