Students from all around the world compete against one another or go "Head to Head” but why? How does it affect us as students? Some students are more competitive than others and they can get angry easily. Sometimes students can affect each other while competing by making another upset, angry or excited. wfuogb.com states that "Too much competition"can cause us to crack and/or deter our success. They also state that ¨ When the competition is too high, we over-work ourselves by adding in extracurricular activities to make our transcripts look good.

Why do we Compete?

Well I can't speak for you but competing to me is a way to have fun and be serious at the same time. Why do I compete you might ask? There is no exact reason, but I do have a thought. I think to myself I have to win because well I like to.. I mean come on it's not fun losing. I don't know maybe it's just me.

In 1920 a man named Alfred Sloan Created what we now call ¨Competition¨… I wonder if he knew that what he created would affect people in many different ways. Does competition affect you? If so Why?
