text: Finally, I feel as a student that extracurricular activities can also benefit you as a student to making new friends. Many people can say that making friends is a dream come true because it can increase their communication skills, share thoughts, and make bonds. When making friends, some people feel accomplished that they have made friends because it is a goal that they have always wanted to achieve. Secondly, communication skills plays a big roll in your life, it allows you to communicate with your colleagues at work, or even somebody at a bagel shop. Sitting in a classroom all day listening to your teacher talk, isn't allowing you to communicate and that is certainly a problem. Making friends differentiates you from your social life and your school life. School isn't the most important thing, but if you are having trouble with something, call your friend up because that's what friends are for.
