text: So you see students shoul be required to participateI personally think every kid should do some sort of extracurricular activity,for one the activities could help them find new friends,they can look good on college resumes,and all around make the persons' school experience better. The first reason is that extracurricular activities can help students find new friends. This is what happens normally when playing sports,because everyone playing that sport has to play as a team. The next example is that participating in an extracurricular activity can look good on college resumes. If you play a sport or are in a club and stay committed to it, that is what colleges look for. The last example is the activities someone takes part in,can help them through the rest of the year. Clubs or participating on school council can make your year more interesting,because you almost always have something to look forward to.
