text: Personally, I would enjoy having to design my own project for summer break. It would give me something more to do, and if it's designed by me, I would find it vastly more enjoyable than one created by the teacher. In my experience, I have quickly forgotten lots of school material in the span of summer break. Summer break is already a time in my life where I hardly do anything except a couple vacations and lounging around at home. If I had to design my project, my brain would be up and running and I would be finding much more to do. Instead of being sedentary, I could be furthering my knowledge in certain subjects so that I feel more prepared for the following school year. My imagination could also run more free than it normally does. Having to create something ourselves allows our minds to be more free and imaginative. Deep down, imagination is something we all crave, but it is suppressed quite often by requirements and rubrics. Minds young and old long to be free and not confined to what we are told we have to do or should do. Making us students design our own summer projects gives our minds wings and something to do.
