text: So it is important to ask for multiple opinions.  I agree that all students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Participating in an extracurricular activity could help students build their teamwork skills. Depending on which extracurricular activity students participate in, it could help strengthen some of their teamwork skills and their ability to work with others. It could also help some shy students become more social and help them want to work with others and participate in different activities. Say someone who really didn't like working with other people, and only liked to do things by himself, joined the soccer team. When they would play practice games he would never pass to anyone, he kept the ball to himself, even when a few of his teammates were wide open, he never passed to them because he wanted to make the goal himself. However, every time he tried to make a goal alone, he always failed, and soon he learned that he would never make a goal by keeping the ball all to himself. He learned that in order to win, he must pass the ball and work with his teammates, passing the ball back and forth. He learned that the only way to win was through teamwork, had he not joined the soccer team, it would have taken him a while to learn that sometimes it's best to work with people, and joining that soccer team helped him build up his teamwork skills. Having students participate in an extracurricular activity will help strengthen their teamwork skill and help some people figure out what they like, what they don't like, and lean how to be more comfortable around people.
