According to Keisha, what motivates students to come to school?

• A. Seeing teachers
• B. The cafeteria
• C. The library fines
• D. Seeing friends

Answer: (D)

A big motivating factor for students to come to school is being with their friends. Keisha emphasizes that peer connections—sharing classes, chats, and activities with friends—give students a sense of belonging and support. That social pull makes showing up feel rewarding, not just something they have to do. While seeing teachers, meals in the cafeteria, or avoiding fines can matter in other ways, they don’t tap into the day-to-day appeal of being with peers the way friendship does. So, the reason most students are drawn to attend, in Keisha’s view, is the opportunity to see and be with friends.
