text: Firstly, an extracurricular activity is a good way for the student to take a break from school work. School work can be very stressful and time consuming to a student. The student is receiving school work every day throughout the year, and most of the time their teacher gives them homework right after they are done with their school work. The student could use their extracurricular activity as a way to take a break from their school work. I, being a student myself, do not enjoy school work, so I joined a book club and go to meetings every Saturday.
