“I believe passion to be the single most important asset

-Angela Maiers-


I started Project Yesu when I was in the 6th grade. From then to now I’ve had 14 teachers and only 3 of them ever showed any interest in what I am doing. This year it’s different, after my teachers found out that I won a Bammy, it’s like they realize that I am for real.

It bothers me that my teacher didn’t seem to care about what I do outside of their classrooms.

So what I would like to say to the teachers, principals, superintendents or whoever...


Its great that you blog or tweet your great classroom ideas and experiences, or that you found a great app to use with your students, or helped them to understand fractions better, but what about...

caring about their passions?

Showing interest in their lives?

Encouraging them, finding their spark and helping them grow, even if it doesn’t make them better on a standardized test.

8th Grader and Founder of Project Yesu



I have neverseen results

accomplished without passion.
