[quote=Anonymous]I am a high school guidance counselor. This is all about admissions, and I am hoping that the college admissions teams are starting to see through this. These projects are, at best, performances that have meaning in the moment only and, at worst, are disruptive to actual, longstanding service organizations. These admissions performances are called "passion projects," and the whole idea behind them is that they can be done efficiently without a lot of time or effort invested. Students who are busy holding an actual job, paid or volunteer, or working hard on a sports team, have less time for these performances. And the whole idea is not to contribute your time and effort into a strong program already in place in community but to be the leader, the CEO of sorts, of something that will fizzle out the moment the college applications are submitted.[/quote]
