    • Nice post Gaia,
      I love your opening statement it made me want to read more and caught my attention. I loved that you said teenagers need to take a day off to just relax and regroup. Often time we get so caught up in work and school we forget to take time to just relax.
      Nice Post!

    • Gaia,

      I think this post is really interesting! I liked your comments about the importance of relaxing and how the absence of relaxation can be detrimental. I feel like this is something that can hit home for everyone, especially high school students, as we often forget that taking a break and a moment to breath is not only ok but necessary.
      Thanks for writing!

    • You used the perfect word when it comes to our future plan which is “balance” and I like how you let us hear your own experience and explained to us where you went wrong as this can be a tool that we can take as a life lesson.

    • I really like that you talked about how sometimes it is ok to relax sometimes as overworking yourself can be terrible. Do you think you overwork yourself?

    • It was very informative that you described how there must be a balance between work and relaxation. Do you have any suggestions on how to find this balance and still be able to achieve your goals?

    • I love this discussion and the information with the passion behind.

    • When I saw the title and featured image, I assumed that it’d be something about learning financial stability. That was completely wrong. I enjoyed reading about this and learning about the “Payback challenge.” I do wonder if this information will stick with me and others, who’ve read your piece, when we disperse into colleges and society.

    • I enjoyed your piece and what you learned from this challenge. It makes me want to learn more about the challenge and want to check it out myself

    • I enjoyed your writing, did you learn anything doing this challenge?
