I am a mother of three children, Michael, 15, Isabella, 13 and Angelina, 10.  They are very busy children who are involved in every activity you can think of.   We as a family believe that having our children involved with activities and teams teaches them time management, prioritizing, getting involved in diverse interests, learn about long term commitments, making contributions, raise self-esteem, build solid relationship skills and it looks great on college applications!!
