Today I will be speaking to the third group of students, in two days, about an in class Pursue the Passion Project at
The most effective way for us to do this is by sending students out on their own PTP interviews. Having us speak to them about our experiences and show videos absolutely has value. However, quite possibly the most important part of the PTP process is the exploratory aspect. Analyzing where your interests lie, deciding who to speak with and setting up the interview are critical elements. In addition a 45 minute dialogue that one experiences first hand and can direct to their liking will fly by and resonated with myself in a much deeper way than I had ever expected.
I have full confidence that the Pursue the Passion has the potential to affect lives in a profound way and give students an invaluable and unique experience. It will be an experiment in personal responsibility and exploration at a time when development of these traits is essential. I only hope the students are half as excited as I am…
If you know of any schools or student organizations that may be interested in taking part in the PTP program, please email me at zach.hubbell@jobingfoundation.org.
