"INTRINSIC MOTIVATION"
These words mean the desire to work towards something for personal gain- not for anything like a prize, a monetary incentive, etc. To be intrinsically motivated means someone driven to want to do something because they are motivated from within themselves.
This is a rare quality to have, but I sincerely admire those that possess this trait.
For those of you out there that wish to pursue academic excellence through intellectually challenging yourselves, Gunning Bedford offers its "HONORS PROJECT". It is open to any student willing and intrinsically motivated to extend themselves academically.
This page describes our GRADE 7 SCIENCE Honors Project Description as well as formal Letter sent home to your son or daughter with more information.
