text: In any type of project, regardless of subject, the topic for which it revolves around is significant as the student is basing their whole assignment on it. When a project is assigned by a teacher, it is typically general with no varying levels of depth, making it increasingly difficult for students to want to explore further. My older brother, Generic_Name, during the summer of his sophomore year in high school, was told to work on a biological inquiry with a topic of his choice. He has always been fascinated by the form and function of the human body, particularly with the nervous system. Generic_Name decided, after seeing a documentary on left and right brain, that he wanted to investigate the effects on the human body if the connection between them was severed. On the other hand, Generic_Name, his best friend, has a great interest in understanding the origins of different species and how they have evolved over time. Without hesitation, Generic_Name knew that he wanted to keep evolution as the focus of his research, which is a contrast to Generic_Name's investigation on the human brain. Even with their differences, both topics are in relation to biology with each suited to the student's interests. With the goal of a summer project being to encourage students to learn, this is only achieved if the topic chosen has a meaning to the person.
