I remember two projects from school particularly well. One was when I wrote to every embassy of countries along the Danube River for information about the river; they all eventually replied except for West Germany (yes, I'm that old). The other was for information on how to host a constitutional conference; the Governor General's office sent me everything I needed so I could preside as GG over our own conference. Getting involved in the real world is, to me, the most life-changing learning experience. That's what drew me to this post, which describes how a student researched and composed a letter on the need for mental health resources at her school, and received a short response from the Premier. I wish there would have been some way to integrate all this work into an actual plan to address the issue, like a student conference on the subject, for example. Via Doug Peterson.
