Our eighth grade English class is doing a yearlong project, called a 20% time or Genius hour. Very successful companies such as Google and Apple have their workers complete one, and some of the greatest inventions have been created as a result. The basic idea is to give the workers 20 percent of their time to work on something they are passionate about.
So, for our class, Mrs. Browning has adapted this project to where we work on our project for an hour in class every Friday. For my Project, I was originally planning to research local or world news story, then write my own opinion about it, a lot like Joel Stein's monthly article in Time.
But then my dance teacher announced that we would be playing the part of the dancers in Opelika High School's production of The Phantom of the Opera, and my mind turned over to my other passion, which is acting.
So now I am deliberating whether to follow through with my original idea, or to learn more about the musical (and the theatrical field in general) that I will be performing in.
To be continued...
