text: In short, extracurricular activities are very important and should be used by every student. It helps students mentally and physically. It helps them become good figures in their community. It helps them build bonds with teachers and students. Extracurricular activities are very positive things for students to do and should be used by most, if not all students. I think that other people should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you could be saving other peoples life. Why would you sit on the couch and do nothing, when you can actually do SOMETHING. Instead of just sitting on the couch and watching Television you could be saving many of peoples lives that have been affected by the war. I'm not saying that everyone just sits on a couch all day and watches Television because I know people have jobs and kids and other important things to do , but I know that atleast 100,000 people in this world just sit around doing nothing. If you have free time on your hands why not help out some other countries that have been left in ruins and are in need of food. I think it'd be a thing to do if you have to much time on your hands.
