text: Finally, students should be allowed to choose their own summer projects because they can use the project to benefit themselves for the better. During the summers many students are either working at jobs like life guarding, or playing club sports like volleyball or soccer. Giving students the opportunity to choose their own project could also free up time for students to be able to get more done. If students were to be given a tedious project like measuring the amounts of bi phenol A in milk jugs or a project that required arduous labor, like making trails for a local boy scout camp they would have little time left in the day to work a shift at the pool or go to soccer practice. For example, if a student played soccer during the summers they could do their project on the average amount of times the soccer ball hits the crossbar in one hundred shots. This project would more than likely be enjoyed by the students, but also the student could use the project as a benefit and work on their shooting skills if they were to do a project based on soccer. To summarize, student should be allowed to choose their own summer projects because they can use the project to benefit themselves.
