There is a large enough variety of extracurricular activities that the majority of students will be interested in at least one. This new rule is intended to help students in the long run as this will make it easier to develop new and exciting skills for themselves to use. It helps them develop social skills and be apart of something big and they learn new things for themselves. However, they do come with negatives as I had talked about, but there are solutions to them. In all, mandatory extracurricular participation is a rule I'm on board with.                I am one of the many scientist of NASA and what i'd like for people to understand is that the "face on mars" is really just a natural landform of the moon and not any ancient civilization on Mars. Although our defenders of our budget and some of us certainly wish there was a form of life on Mars.
