text: Getiing diverse opinions and viewing your situation from other perspectives are both good reasons why people should seek multiple advice and opinions from many different types of people. People will get the opurtunity to hear out what other people have to say about their situation, and they will obtain more advice by asking more people which most likely will be beneficial to whoever is asking for the advice.   Tim Ryan, an experienced bird watcher once said, "In middle school, somebody started the weirdest club imaginable... a bird watching club. Being the class clown that I was, my friends and I signed up for the oddest club at school. At first, it was just funny. Then I found myself looking forward to club day. Bird watching was a ton of fun. If I wasn't required to sign up for a club, I would never have found my true passion -- bird watching." School required extracurricular activities have been controversial for many years. Is it a waste of time? Are the activities even fun? As the years went by, many people started to realize that extracurricular activities are beneficial. Students should be required to participate in extracurricular activities because it can boost their confidence, improve their time management skills, teach them how to work with other people, and they may even find a new favorite hobby.
