text: Students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity because it's a good way to interact with others. Making friends can be really hard for some people while for others it can be the easiest thing to do. Joining a club can help with making a friend because the people in the club have the same interests as you. Once you've made a couple friends, you can develop your social skills like leadership, and confidence. If you join an after school program, you'll be able to make friends and have stronger social skills when talking to others.
