text: doing a extra activities is really good, but it shouldn't be a distraction for you, this means that you still need to do your homework, study for any test, and turn in any work on time. Extra curricular mean doing and learning something extra in your free time and doing school and academic work as well and succeed. And if you can't handle anything extra, tell your principal and a trusted adult that you can't handle it, and they will understand. Doing extra is not necessarily better, your health matters most, if you feel good go right ahead and do it,but if you feel not so good no one can force you to do it.
