text: For the reasons that I have provided as well as other ways that extracurricular activities can be beneficial, it's encouraged that more students participate in extracurricular activities. There are clearly many ways that it would help improve students' lives. It can help them with their passions, socializing with people who share interests or views, and can help students with making new experiences to assist them in the future. Many schools offer a variety of different activities to join that many of the students already find to be enjoyable. Because of the points made, if my principal ever decided that all students had to participate in at least one extracurricular activity, I would agree with her decision.It would be an amazing oppurtunity to be able to go and be a Seagoing Cowboy, I mean imagine all the things you could see, and places you could go. You may never have this kind of oppurtunity again, so why not take it. All you have to do is feed some cattle a couple times a day, clean some stalls, and if your the night watchman, all you do is check on the cattle once every hour then report back to the captain.
