Give students more time to live life and be happy!

I’m in grade 11 currently and I find myself not having enough free time. Every day I stress over things that I remember I need or want to do and I have no time to do it. I tell myself I’ll do it later after I finish my 5 hours of homework, and finally when I finish all my work I have to go to sleep in order to be awake for another 6 hours of school. Every night I only get 6 hours of sleep because of doing homework all night long while still trying to fit in activities I enjoy. I feel like every day my stress is building up because there’s more things I have to worry about including school and things that make me happy which there’s not enough time for both. Teachers and parents make it seem like school is the most important thing in our lives so students decide to focus on school and put their happiness and health aside. I believe that there should be at least one extra day of time off. If students had even one more day that’s an extra 24 hours to just think, and have time to find yourself and remember who you are without stressing over handing in things on time or studying for the 2nd test in one week. I want school days to be changed to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday should be added as a no-school day personally I would use most of that day doing things that will improve the person I am and I believe many other students would agree on this and use the time valuably.
