text: Requiring students to participate in at least one extracurricular activity will give them a chance to try things that they normally would not. Most people tend to stay in their comfort zone, but this rule will challenge them to try new things that they will hopefully enjoy. For example, someone that never reads might never join their school's book club, but with this rule they could join the book club and discover that they love reading. Overall, trying new things is essential to finding new interests.
