Purpose:

By doing my best, setting an example, & bringing out the best in others, I can apply these principles to the project and in turn would teach others to ‘pay it forward’. Not only will it honor my former teachers, but all those who influenced and taught me valuable life lessons.  Adding, if ‘I could influence just one future student’, in finding their key, in turn they too would be ‘passing it on’ themselves, thus continuing the ‘legacy’.
