What are you most excited about?
I am looking forward to being a part of a community that sees opting out of college as an asset rather than a mistake. I’m also really excited to learn about different roles and to try them on for size (I love experiential learning!). Plus, having more concrete things on my resume is going to feel really awesome.

What are you most excited about?
I am most excited about finding my niche with Praxis. I love the flexibility that this program seems to encourage and learning about many different fields of expertise.

I graduated a year early at the top of my class in high school…I was homeschooled.
What are you most excited about?
I am not only excited to hear the different ideas that my fellow Praxians will be sharing, but I am also excited to share my ideas in a way that will catch the eyes of potential employers. There are so many things in the Praxis program that I am itching to get started on. I am so excited to have something to focus on that’s going to change my life, challenge me, and get me excited for something so new and unpredictable! It’s awesome! I am so grateful to be a part of this program, and I look forward to getting started and getting to know everyone.
