I’m not sure if my comment was deleted or not. But I had made a comment stating my reasons I signed this petition and I now decided to restate those reasons because I believe others will be able to relate. My parents are divorced and I myself am a very busy athlete. My father lives in north east Iowa which is 5 hours away. Holiday breaks are the only time I get to spend with extended family including my own dad. Not only do I not see my father that often but mental health plays a huge part in school. Students at my school complain of stress, burnout, and even depression from being overworked. I myself have experienced all three and all I need is a break to spend time with friends and family. This petition should not only be considered but put in place!
