What did you do for your passion project? Why? What I did for my passion project was spreading awareness about mental illness. The reason I chose to do mental illness was because I am tired of hearing people give others labels for their conditions, and I wanted to end some of it. I also did this project because I wanted to show my parents that ADHD and other mental illnesses and disabilities aren't fake and are in fact very real. I wanted to show this by both writing an essay and stating the facts, and use a simulation to really show them that they are wrong. When my parents came along and looked at my project that's when I showed them my essay.
What part of your project are you proudest of and why? I am proud of my project because I had used what both my parents and other people have said and quoted it in my essay and did the research to prove them wrong. I wrote about it in my essay and I also had shown them a picture of the difference between a person with and without ADHD to show them that ADHD and other mental disorders are no excuse and that ADHD is a real chemical Imbalance of the brain. I loved doing this project because It was fun and a very good way to educate someone to think about what they say before they say it because people may not actually know when they say something that may or may not be true. I also loved this project because I wanted to show people that mental illnesses and diseases are not a disease and most of these stereotypes about people with mental illness or disorders may not be true. 3. What does your project reveal about you as a learner? This project shows that I am very interested in mental illness and that I am very willing to take a challenge and stand up for myself and others as well. I am very proud to say that this project has made me grow in many different ways and learn facts about mental illnesses and disorders I haven't even known. This project also revealed that I'm very good at putting full effort into a project when I make it interesting. It's not about the assigned project, I just need to find ways to make learning more interesting for myself such as coming up with a unique way to present the project or being able to prove something to someone makes project work much more interesting to me.
