One way is that they can push for the student to become more well rounded individuals, and force you to get better at something that you may not yet know you really love to do. For example, if you were to join a yearbook club and were tasked with making the front cover of the yearbook, but you are not an amazing artist then this is your chance to learn and get better at being an artist.
