    What are the benefits?
     
    The personal project is an opportunity to explore a topic you have a personal interest in or connection to. It is also a great example to use in college admission essays and job interviews. It shows your ability to take initiative, think critically, and communicate effectively—a few of the many skills you need to be college and career ready.
