That is where I stall out. There are some projects that I simply don't see the point in. Keep in mind I am in high school. |
Why do you stall out in the second question? For starters, if you intend on going to uni the answer is "yes" regardless of what the project is. If you don't get the score that you want, while not impossible, it will be harder to get in (well that's how it is in Australia anyway).
If you don't want to go to university and instead you intend on getting a job or a trade straight out of high school, perhaps you need to ask the question "Will this add to my knowledge or help me?" in that context. Will the project you're doing help (indirectly or directly) get that job/apprenticeship/traineeship/whatever?
If you're not sure what you want to do, which is most people in high school, than perhaps you should take inquiringmind4u's advice and just not analyse what you're doing at all: just do it. It will become clear later whether or not it was the right decision.
