“And your school is advancing to the next level!” These are words that every extra curricular group wants to hear. They’re are ups and downs to the endless work it took to hear those nine simple words. Just like every other extra activity we do, the activity either helps or hinders us. I believe that extracurricular activities can improve us by expanding our knowledge and helping our social skills.
Our knowledge is one of the main resources that help us understand and get through life safely. For example, Sally got the lead role in her school’s play and has never had a main part before. She drilled those lines into her head and soon enough she got them down! She realized that memorizing lines is very similar to studying for a test, so she started to use her line-learning-technique on her homework and turned into an A+ student just like that!! Memorizing different pieces of literature and insane math skills can help your knowledge tremendously! Similarly, doing these different extra curricular activities can give someone knowledge and facts they never thought they’d ever have or need! Students in extra activities learn more than the average student does on a normal basis, turning them into the next Einstein! Therefore, doing the extra curricular activities will help students knowledge grow!
When we walk out onto the streets, we don’t already have the perfect social life and the guts to talk to everyone we come across, but being in extra curricular activities will help us get close. For example, in today’s world everyone’s nose is glued to the front of their phones or their computer screen. Joining an extracurricular group can help take up some of our free time and help us make a new posse, instead of just having Siri to talk to. Some of my closest and dearest friends I met in an extracurricular activity that I was unsure about joining,but before I knew it I began to fall in love with it. Therefore, I believe that extra activities really bump up our social skill and make our lives very enjoyable.
Whether it’s moving on in a major school competition or just doing it for plain ole fun, extra curricular activities help our lives more than they hinder them. These different groups greatly improve the people that join them mentally and physically.
