text: Finally, when doing a project it is know and proven that projects help those involved learn a different set of skills. In this day an age lots of the more recent jobs require you to have these setts of skills. Projects help people learn how to plan ahead for an important date, the right resources to use for research, and how to work with other people. Im sure that the list of skill could go on but those are a few of the most important ones. Most the things that students learn in school dont always get applied in the real world. But when students are able to learn and apply these skills on there own thats when they become more prepared to succeed. A few years back I was able to create my own end of the year project using a topic we had learned through out the year in my civics project. For the first time I felt a lot more motivation to do this project to my best of my ability to really show what i had learned. I liked that I was able to make my own schedule. This project felt more fun then stressful I liked the fact that I felt like I was in control.
