According to Natalie Fischer, participation in extracurricular activities promotes motivation in high school students and helps develop the “social, physical, and intellectual skills” needed in an individuals’ development throughout their lives (1788). Fischer’s research states that extracurricular participants’ attitudes are more “devoted to learning” than regular students due to the effects of social and intellectual skills that are valuable during their activities as well as in their lives(1789). Individuals who participate in activities tend to obtain “competencies,” such as teamwork, critical thinking, and a sense of commitment (1789). Students’ positive interactions with their environment will help them gain the satisfaction needed to succeed. The challenge of competing with other students in an activity will help stimulate their brains to the point where “quality criteria” results will be important in their assignments (1790). By participating in extracurricular activities, the students are challenged to work “actively in a task” at the same time as they develop significant skills needed for their future “outcome” (1790). Extracurricular activities “engage students” to acquire social skills, such as confidence that will lead to a high self-esteem (Cordea 1145). An extracurricular activity benefits the students in a matter that enhances learning, inspiration, and encouragement in order to obtain superior academic results above non-participant
