text: Also I didn't know anybody or even know what to do, but joining the team taught me so much I wouldn't be where I am without it. It's been six years since I started playing, and I'm still friends with everyone that was on my softball team. Extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports, and the student council can and will make a big impact on students. I agree that students should participate in extracurricular actives because, they teach students teamwork, help them gain social skills, and keeps them healthy and active.
