text: Some students just aren't able to participate in extracurricular activities. I know a lot of fellow students that participate in sports after school, or even just have things going on at home that are stopping them form being able to participate in activities. Students could be having financial issues which means it's going to be very hard for parents to pay for any of the fees. Especially for sports because you have to buy shoes for that sport, there are fees that you have to pay just to be able to play any sport. Students could also have after school jobs that they have to get to after school ends. Students could even have sick family members they have to take care of or, just little siblings they have to watch.
