text: One reason why students should be in extracurricular activities is because students can learn new things about themselves if they join extracurricular activities. When students learn new things about themselves, they can turn that knowledge into goals for future jobs. For example, if a student joins the school basket ball team, then that student might have a goal to join a professional basketball team. Another example is my friend is in a coding class, she learned how much she likes coding that she has a goal to work at Microsoft. By making students join extracurricular activities, students will learn new things about themselves.
