text: Similar to food, humans need to feed their fiery passions in order for them to develop into leaders who enjoy their craft and work constantly to improve it. As young teens grow into adulthood they will produce their own aspirations, therefore, by having students create their summer project they will be able to base their projects based on their interests. Ludwig Van Beethoven, one of music's most prominent classical composer struggled in life because of his hearing loss, as a passionate musician, he did everything in his power to play music, even laying the piano down onto the floor so he could hear the notes. By constantly playing and composing, Beethoven was able to develop his music skills, later, making him an inspiration to all musicians. Similar to Beethoven, giving students the opportunity work on their interests by creating their own summer project, it will fulfill their passions and encourage students to follow their goals. My friend Generic_Name is passionate about programming and creating apps, however, this year he feels disinterested in computer science class, because it is not challenging enough for him. Therefore, making him doubt his love for computing and his goal to one day become a programmer for a large company. One day, he received an email from a small company asking him to participate in a project that would challenge his programming skills, helping Generic_Name reignite his love for programming. By giving students the ability to design their project they would be able to further study the subjects they love and eventually evolve that passion into a career.
