MISSION▪X SUMMARY Andrew Ayer
I started out in camp with a lot of ideas. Cooking is my passion, so they were all cooking- and food-related. First it was a cooking show, then it was collaborative cooking with other people. And then I'd write a review, then it was a cookbook, and then I finally decided on writing one recipe a week (making it and then writing a review of it).
I started this, and I really enjoyed it. So I kept doing it for a while. I wound up doing this for three weeks, and before it went downhill, I made a butternut squash and pasta dish, asparagus ice cream, and an argentine stew called locro, which were all amazing.
After three weeks, though, it started getting hard to do because I couldn't always cook, so I couldn't write my reviews. So Mr. Barringer and I decided I had to change my project.
With my new project, I just wrote reviews about anything I ate, which worked out really well, and I could get them all done. But I didn't enjoy it, and I got really, really bored. So I changed it again.
This was my very last change. It was a total experiment. I had never done anything like it before. I decided to try doing creative lettering and artistically write different words. And I'm glad I switched because once I started, it felt pretty natural, and I wound up making a ton of work.

My biggest advice for the rising seventh graders would be not to focus on the end product. This held me back a lot during my project. Also, don't be afraid to change your project up a little because if you get bored, you won't produce good, quality work.
