text: By the time most students are getting ready to graduate high school, apply to colleges or pick their major for the the first time, they have no clue what to do because high school didn't provide them with the opportunity to explore many interests. It is a major flaw in the way that the education system works, especially in the United States, because we are taught the important subjects; such as math, which can be applied in many careers, science which is required for all medical careers and many more, history which is important to know, so that it doesn't repeat itself, and english, which once you get up to a certain point, only applies to a very limited number of professions. It would not help students to do yet another project based off of a subject they have years to sit in a classroom and learn about. Students should be able to explore what interests them, outside of those mandated subjects. A summer project where a student has freedom to learn what they desire to learn about could look like, a girl who wants to explore architecture and builds a small structure, or a boy who wants to be firefighter and decides to volunteer at his local fire station, which he might not have time for during the school year. It could also be a way for a student that has no clue in the world what they want to do, to learn about a carer so different from anything they have learned in school.
