Everything we do has its own benefits and the contrary of it. Joining co-curricular activities may develop your mind to be more mature as these activities can expand your box of mind to accept more ideas and thoughts from different people. Other than that, choosing to further your studies in TESL field drives you to be more confident as this course requires you to communicate with a lot of people. From here, I see how all of these co-curricular activities help me the most in gaining my social skills, in hand with lessen up my anxiety in talking with strangers.

For the bad side of it, taking parts in competitions or activities that may contribute to your co-curricular marks can drain your energy as you need to manage your time wisely. As a university student, continuous assignments are one of the hardest parts to be managed and now, having other activities may interrupt the learning and the pace of the students from doing the work.
