Top 10 Reasons YOU Should Try Extracurriculars
(a.k.a. What's in it for me?)
- Explore your interests with like-minded people
- Find new friends - a common interest brings together people you'd never talk to without the club/team
- It looks good on college and job applications
- Learn how to balance work and fun
- Practicing regularly with peers increases your skills
- Leadership opportunities
- Less likely to become addicted to bad habits, like smoking or drinking
- Get to know your teachers better
- Give back to the community with service projects
- It's better than staring at the wall or napping all afternoon!
