text: One reason I agree that all students should at least participate in one extracurricular activity is because it can get students to try something new. Most students don't really get hooked on to the topics their learning in actual school because they don't really reach out/don't look or sound appealing, but if students have to participate in one activity, they'd get more hooked or interested on one topic or activity because it may be enjoyable, welcome, or they might find it fun.
