text: Participating in an extracurricular activity can aid in the development of a well rounded student. Students are fairly busy people, and while most try their best in school, many are still unaware of the things that they are capable of. Whether it be learning how to play an instrument or being on the student council, there are many things that students could participate in to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. For example, learning a new skill like being able to play the violin can teach students about the fine motor skills that are required in order to play it. This new skill can open their minds to their possibilities and contribute to the identity of a student and who they are as a person. In addition, it can give a student knowledge in which they can enable later on in the future.
