text: Sincerely STUDENT_NAMEI agree with the principal for it making a requirement for all students to do at least one extracurricular activity. It can benefit a child's life in many ways. It is beneficial to a student's health, mentally and physically. Along the way they might meet new people, and learn how to be committed to a team or group. These may not only be useful in the present, but they may be useful in the future as well.
