Initially I made Fredducation because I wanted to build web development and programming skills. I thought a programming project closely related to one of my interests, learning Spanish, wouldn't feel like a chore and might even be fun. I really enjoyed building it and still have fun working on it on my spare time but the site's purpose in my life has changed pretty drastically. Now I use it to reflect on how I came to learn something that is close to my heart and to show gratitude for these moments in my life. When I first brought the site to life I thought "now I have to write articles", as if it was a bother to commit to something like this but those thoughts went away. I realized how good writing an article made me feel. When I look at photos and piece together their story for an article, I feel a deep appreciation for life. Today, that's why I contribute to Fredducation. I hope that other people read what I post and feel good too. The posts focus on the people, places, media, and resources that have taught me something, with an underlying theme of travel. I try to post once a week but I'm not too strict about it, mostly I post when it feels right.
