The other day in English class, we watched this eye opening movie called, "the Passion Project" it was directed and made by students at our very own Chabot College. the students also gave insight in the documentary.this movie made me realize that we should all find our own passion, and that it will help in the long run. the part that opened my eyes was the part about the teachers, and how they only teach the content in a class, but never more then that. teachers never really help you find your passion, they just tell you to get it all together but really don't show a lot of effort. I can relate to the beginning when they were all talking about how their parents were pushing them to be something they don't want to be. my mom tried pushing me to be a nurse, but that shit wasn't happening. I really liked the students perspectives in the movie, and they themselves showed passion by directing and making the movie.

      In my opinion, the only connection between passion and privilege, is that privileged people pursue their passion easier, and they destroy non privileged people's passion. have you ever told a person of privilege what you want to do when you grow up? my freshman year in high school, I told my teacher I wanted to be a lawyer, and she just laughed and told me that was not happening. like really? I've had you as my teacher for 3 weeks and your telling me what I can and cannot do? I'm just speaking from experience when I say what I say.

Follow YOUR passion!!!! The only way to go is UP!
