Students nowadays are more willing to participate in extracurricular activities due to the

numerous benefits.
First and foremost, apart from what they study in school, participation in extracurricular
activities would assist pupils to gain and develop their social knowledge. Students benefit much
from the knowledge that books provide, but it appears that if they exclusively learn through
books, their thinking abilities will be restricted to the pages of paper. Extracurricular activities,
particularly those that provide challenges, need pupils to devise appropriate solutions. Pupils will
learn how to apply classroom learning to different real-life situations, analyze, evaluate, and
critique the issues presented, and devise acceptable solutions at that time. For instance, a soccer
game on the pitch necessitates the youngster to use all of the above intellectual capacity to make
quick decisions in order to keep the ball on course. That's when youngsters develop the ability to
think in a split second.
For another reason, involvement in extracurricular activities is essential for students to
have healthy lives. Children's physical development is aided by extracurricular activity
participation, which helps them become more flexible, agile, and healthy. Due to that, health is
also enhanced. Pupils now have more energy to foster critical thinking and creativity in the
classroom.  In terms of mental health, kids will have the chance to connect with others who share
their interests, overcome social barriers, and form strong friendships. Youngsters will also
understand the importance of collaboration and come to respect it. Additionally, it will maintain
your child's peace of mind, lowering the tension and pressure that he occasionally doesn't want. 
Beside, participating in community extracurricular activities, students will bring benefits
to the community, contributing to building a good and humane society. By contributing to the
community of those in need, students will learn to sympathize and empathize with the people
around them. These practical actions not only contribute to the society but also help them to
cultivate a kind and loving human personality. For example,  many students have formed non-
profit organizations in order to support people in need, especially those in rural regions, flood-
prone areas, orphans, disabled people, and the elderly
 In short, secondary school students should take part in extracurricular activities as a
result of its fantastic benefits.
