text: In my opinion, I do agree that every students should be required to do a extra curricular activity. Even though having a extracurricular activity can allow less time for homework, or can negatively effect you grades. A extracurricular activity can benefit students in many ways from them becoming more active in school and the community, making more friends that could last a life time, or the can provide students with a bigger outlook on activities that they want to pursue when they get older. Therefore, I still believe that having an extra curricular activity is beneficial to students, people just have to work a bit harder to maintain the grades that they need for school. Many people are beginning to see that cars are causing lots of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases affect our ozone layer in the atmosphere and causes global warming and causes high pollution levels that make it hard to breathe for most people.
