EDUCATION

“Education is your passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” Malcolm X

Education is not limited to the classroom. It takes place in the kitchen, on the corner, as you ride or walk to any destination, when you listen or speak to others and in the silence of your bedroom. Education springs forth from books, songs, children, elders, women, and men. It rises from victory, tragedy, joy and suffering. Education does not take place when you learn something that you did not know before. Education is the ability to use what you have learned to be better than you were yesterday. No matter how much you know or how you learn it, the ultimate goal of education is to give “you” greater insight to “yourself.”

I am educating the world about me.
