<p>Fencersmother: You want to know why I didn’t do EC’s? First of all I’m not some conformist pig like you very angrily seem to expect me to be. I can pretend like being in SAB/Basketball/Football/Any-other-meaningless-activity makes me or my life any more valuable or purposeful but it doesn’t. It’s superficial and superfluous in the grand scheme of things except for entering college. If a person’s value to you or a college comes from activities then I think you/they need to double check what’s important to you/them. Second of all, I suffered with severe self-esteem issues and social anxiety for the first 2-3 years of high school so sure I could have participated in a sport. I would have felt extremely humiliated if I didn’t play much or score much which would have only made me even more shy around my classmates since I’d feel guilty after every single mistake. I never would have had the guts to run for an office because of those issues I had.
The only thing that adds value to a human life is Christian behavior. At the beginning of High School I wasn’t very Christian either so why would I become involved? I had to evolve first. Besides that I’m forced to go to a church that only has kids from another school district which would have only worsened my social anxiety while around them since they already had cliques and I knew none of them.</p>
<p>So before you go around portraying my value as a student or a person as completely meaningless due to your irrational and conformist standards maybe you should be a little more open minded and get the story behind the person before you judge him or her. I have not indicated in any way that I participate in any nefarious or dark activities-not even parking or speeding tickets, I’m at the top of my class, and now that I have overcome those issues I am becoming involved. Why would you be so harsh to me?</p>
