Over the next few
weeks, my fellow seniors and I will be deciding what to do for our Senior Projects. At St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes School, each
senior pursues some unique adventure during the last two weeks in May. Last year, the seniors designed vastly different,
but very interesting and rewarding projects.
Examples of these projects include interning with a tech start-up,
volunteering at a local hospital, and producing songs with GarageBand. School officials encourage students to design
projects that lead to self-discovery and personal fulfillment. Unlike most schoolwork, these projects are
not about grades. Instead, students have
an opportunity for intellectual, creative, and/or spiritual growth. After the demands of AP classes and college
applications, a chance to spend two weeks doing something that interests me sounds
pretty good. The only problem is deciding
how best to spend my two weeks. Should I
intern, volunteer, create something…?Wednesday, January 14, 2015
