text: Picking your own topic for a summer project can lead to better grades. According to "Academic Awards", students achieved better grades when they work on a subject of choice. A student said at the awards, "When I got to write about Hockey, which is my favorite sport, I put so much effort and time into my paper. I loved to write about how great of a game Hockey is. I truly believe that if you are allowed to write about a topic that you have true passion for, it will lead to great success. This aspect does not only apply to school work, but also the real world." There have been many studies on how "doing the thing you love" will bring you great success. That same aspect goes with school, students learn and perform better when they are learning a subject of interest.
