> There's no time left any more to be a kid.

I have several hobbies that are popular with kids (mountain biking, rock climbing, and some others).

I can assure you that there are plenty of kids with more time than I have to dedicate to these hobbies at every popular spot I go to. Many of them are ambitious, smart, and working toward top universities, too. It’s actually fun energy to be around.

The parent comment about students getting up at 6:30AM and working 15 hour days is highly unusual.
