I found the movie Passion Project an interesting and informative film. It talks about the things that make you want to learn and grow as a person. The things that drive you and give meaning to your life. Without passion life would be a long boring journey.Tiffany from the movie says "It's something that drives you, that excites you, makes you feel good." To me something that you're passionate about is something that you are fully committed to physically, emotionally and spiritually. It's something that you put your whole heart into.

The movie spoke to me because it was from other students perspectives. Everybody is a unique individual and has different interests and things that are important to them. It is these interests that make you feel good and enjoy life. You have to find out what makes you happy in this life. What's your purpose of being on this earth? Without passion we are like rudderless ships lost at sea with no direction. Passion is what gives us purpose and a direction to follow. A lot of people get into a career because they want to make a nice living . While it is important to make a nice living being passionate about what you're doing is much more fulfilling.
It will make you want to get up in the morning to go to work and not just for the paycheck. Passion gives you great satisfaction. Karina says"They'd rather me be a nurse because they get money or they're in high demand or something and I don't wanna do that." If Karina were to follow her parent's wishes for her she would likely be unhappy. She needs to find that thing that burns deep inside her and put her energy into whatever that is.

Students want to learn. That's why we decided to come to college. We are trying to better ourselves and our outlook in life. Life is hard. You never know what it has in store for you. You could have everything mapped out and it will not go the way you had envisioned. There will be bumps in the road and obstacles to overcome. Having passion gives you focus. It's kind of like having tunnel vision where nothing else matters except for what you are driving towards. It is the job of teachers to make learning fun. If a teacher believes in what they are teaching and have a zest for it, it will come across in the energy that is given off to the students. The students in turn absorb that energy. It makes them become more interested in what they are being taught and more involved in the learning process. Ray says "a great teacher is always like a student because they're always learning so they're always learning new and better ways to do something." If we knew everything there was to know that would be boring. We are constantly striving to learn more. We are learning from the time we are born to the time when we take our last breath.
