[quote=Anonymous]I generally hate the way the word “passion” is foisted upon kids these days. One of my kids came home from school in tears in fourth grade because they had to choose something they were passionate about for a project and he couldn’t think of anything. And more power to all the ten year olds who do have true passions, but I think it’s kind of loaded language for kids who should be dabbling in a bit of everything. That said, the sentiment of doing ECs you’re “passionate” about makes sense. It just needs rewording. Do what you enjoy, what makes you happy, not what you think will make your resume look good.[/quote]
