The Passion Project from Sean McFarland on Vimeo.
The Passion Project is a film created by students in Chabot College. In the film they discuss their opinions on passion. They talk about what passion means, what their passion is individually. They talk about the hardships and obstacles on achieving your dreams. They discuss how school plays a major role in finding yourself. Sometimes teachers themselves fall in a routine and forget the reason why they became a teacher. I do believe a teacher should inspire their students to explore and find a passion.They say how it's confusing at first to know what you like. I can relate with almost everything every student was talking about. I believe passion is something we set aside and most often forget. It's hard to follow your passion when you have to prioritize your obligations in other aspects of your life. I think the older you get the more you find yourself and you see your life passing by, so you remember your aspirations again. This film comforts me in knowing that I'm not the only one that have put my passions on hold. Many students are going through the same experiences but we just don't know about it because we are too busy with our own personal lives. This film shows me that I should be more engaged in school and community.
I totally agree with you, and can see where you're coming from. I, too, have felt like I have to put some of my passions aside because of other obligations that come first. People like to think that by going to school you are going somewhere; however, the school doesn't pay you to be there, in actuality, it's vise-versa. So, in turn we have to get jobs in order to pay for school if we don't have parents or financial aid that are there to support us through our financial hardships. All in all, I enjoyed your post. [:
