text: First, I think students should participate in extracurricular activities because it helps students interact with other students and even adults. Interacting with other students in school will be very helpful in life. Students need to learn to get along with others and respect one another. Most jobs are required for you to interact with other people. Not everyone likes to interact with others, but when participating in any extracurricular activity it gives you the chance to practice this and work on getting better for later on in life.
