Most kids and people don’t have passions. It’s only the very top colleges – places like Harvard, Amherst – that have such an overabundance of outstanding applicants that the colleges can use passion to help the colleges pick and choose among their applicants.

Passions also have to come from the kid. You can’t force your kid to have one. Probably most people with passions find those passions on their own, and those passions are not subjects that their parents would have thought of exposing them to.
