Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life. People debate over the subject of whether education is the only thing that gives knowledge. Some say education is the process of gaining information about the surrounding world while knowledge is something very different. They are right. But then again, information cannot be converted into knowledge without education. Education makes us capable of interpreting things, among other things. It is not just about lessons in textbooks. It is about the lessons of life. One thing I wish I can do is, to provide education for all: no child left behind and change the world for good!!

Education allows us to connect the dots of the various pieces of information we gather and interpret it based on our own diaspora.  Formal education is one way to gain knowledge but the interaction with people and being critical and in the moment of what surrounds us allows application and the personal growth that creates a thoughtful person.  A great novel is only useful if it can be interpreted into our own realities or that of others. This concept is most important in being more accepting of people and situations that are different from our own.
