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, men. It rises from
victory, tragedy, joy and suffering.
Education does not take place when you
learn something you did not know before.
Education is your ability to use what
you have learned to be better today 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 into "yourself".
