Passion, according to William- Webster, is "an intense desire or enthusiasm for something."
Most people live their entire lives working day in and day out in without ever finding their true passion" says Sean Kelker from San Jose, CA. "To me, passion is being able to work endlessly on an engineering or programming project, so intensely and so focused that I lose track of time, myself and my own physical limitations" he writes in her essay.
Sean recently graduated from the Pioneer High School and will be pursuing a Bachelors of Science Degree at Santa Clara University in the fall.
