text: First of all, having students join and participate in an extracurricular activity can help them meet new people and make new friends. Joining an extracurricular activity such as a club or a sports team can be very beneficial to students. Having students join clubs can help shy students talk to new people and make more friends. Even someone who is frequently talkative and already has a lot of friends can meet and talk to new people who share the same interests as them in the club. Having friends who share your interests is something that every student wants, and joining an extracurricular activity can help students achieve that. It was only Generic_Name's first day in the club when he met two people who would later become his best friends. "Hello," said a voice Generic_Name has never heard, "My name is Generic_Name.". Generic_Name looked at Generic_Name and shook his hand, "Hey Generic_Name, i'm Generic_Name. Nice too meet you". The person standing behind Generic_Name introduced himself next. "Sup Generic_Name. My name's Generic_Name, I'm Generic_Name's Friend." he said. "Nice too meet you as well Generic_Name." Generic_Name replied. Generic_Name, Generic_Name and Generic_Name quickly became good friends because of their similar interests.
