text: So here I am, on the sea, thinking about the people that I tried to get them to join. Every time that I thought about them, I think about what they are doing right now. When I was discharged, I went off to find every single one of the people and tell about my journys. They always say the same thing. "I wish I joined the program." Then we have a good talk about what they did while I was overseas. I feel like that I have more friends than I used to before.It is finally summer time, time for trips, picnics, and fun. School is finally over and it is time to rest, but the summer project is 60% of next years grade. The topic of the project is extremely boring. This is why students should be allowed to pick their own project topics. The project is hard enough without having a topic that is not interesting. Many teachers would say it would be easier for them to just assign a topic to each person, however, doing this could lead to students not doing it and starting off the year bad. Students should be allowed to have this choice because it may give them a sense of freedom, they are more likely to do the project, and teachers dont have time to make up each topic for every student they have.
