text: There are many benefits that a student can use in the long run from designing their own projects. One benefit they learn is work ethic. Work ethic is a persons perseverance to get the job done in enough time and it be done correctly. For example, if a teacher assigns a summer project that the student must design, having work ethic pushes you to get it done. Having work ethic makes a students work much easier and relieves teachers of stress. Another benefit a student can learn is planning skills. Planning skills are skills that help a student plan activities or events. For example, a student needs to plan a project but lacks planning skills they would not know what to do. Planning skills help a student by teaching them to plan so that when the time comes to plan something they are ready. The final benefit a student learns from designing their own summer projects is creativity. Creativity is a persons sense of imagination and a way for people to express themselves. For example, being creative on a project can show people a persons character and a persons mindset. Creativity can help a person in the long run by teaching a person how to stand out in a group of people.
