A wonderful classic

Uplifting songs recommended for high school students

I believe high school students lead very busy lives with studies, club activities, and part-time jobs.

Many of you may feel worn out and low on energy amid such a hectic schedule.

At times like that, I hope music can help you switch gears and lift your spirits.

Here are some songs that can give you a boost.
