Month 2 of the Praxis bootcamp is focused on building a portfolio project. I love this module: it falls perfectly into my education ideal of project-based learning. My project is a podcast, focused on education. Read my previous project update here.

What is life, if I live with little impact?
What is freedom, if I do not free another soul?
My life cannot have meaning if I have no legacy.

I’ll walk with passion, never looking back,
And live one moment at a time:
And as the moments turn to hours,
The hours into years,
Mark my words: my destiny will be completed.
