Re: "Put academics first," by Bob Kirby, Wednesday Letters. Hey, Bob, I disagree with your opinion about high school sports and extracurricular activities. I think you're missing the bigger picture.
What about enjoyment, involvement, and becoming a well-rounded person? What about life?
High school is about a lot more than just academics. Not everybody achieves in the classroom—but many do well enough in class and then excel on the playing field. Student athletes have a better chance of gaining a scholarship to a college than "just" a good student.
I am a football player at Bishop Lynch and have a 4.0 grade point average. However, I would prefer to be playing on the field than sitting in any class.
My favorite high school memories will be of my friends on the football team, not my classmates in school.

What is the author's purpose in writing this letter?
A.
to describe the school's football team
B.
to entertain with stories about football
C.
to persuade readers about school sports
D.
