text: As a fellow student myself, I have done many summer assignments designed by teachers and summer assignments designed by myself. For my own project, I chose something that interested me and even though it was over three years ago, I still remember the results I got and what I had learned from that project, Did you know tomato plants grow better with green tea than water because I did, after my project. On the other hand I had recently had a summer project that had me do a bunch of unnecessary information searching on the web, even though it was so recent I honestly couldn't tell you one thing I learn from it. I dont even remember what it was about. Having created my own project, with a topic that interested me, made my learning experience far superior than that of a project designed by a teacher. Not only was I able to obtain knowledge that my teacher intended for me to have but I also had a fun time doing so because I wanted to know more about my topic of interest. I also wanted to finish my project and make it turn out really nice since I had a sense of pride knowing I created this project.
