text: By doing an extracurricular activity you could learn new abilities or skills. To learn new skills you need to try something different, try something that you have never done before. Maybe you go to an activity your friend invited you to because he has no friends there. People always learn something new when they go to an activity that their friend invited them to. You could just go to an activity and find out something that you never knew or you could find something out that you never understood. Maybe you learned something that no one ever explained to you and you could find out that some extracurricular activities aren't that bad after all. Being in extracurricular activities isn't just learning new skills, it can help you get into a school that you would love to go to.
