Personal progress is a lifelong journey. Every day, we're bombarded with reminders of the things we're not good at - while also catches glimpses of our best and brightest moments. Self-directed learning requires motivation - and motivation has to come from somewhere.

We tend to get inspiration from topics we like and are interested in:

• Art
• Sports
• Photography

A really great resource for students is www.diy.org. DIY organizes all of its topics into categories, and each category into projects - organized by level of difficulty. If you're looking to find ways to get students to explore their passions, this is a great starting point.

Below are some sample activities to help students nurture these skills.
