My Belief Declaration
Education improves lives. Some argue that a degree is not a guarantee that you’ll make more money; but, it sure does help. So, take away the economic benefits and education still gives you: a healthier lifestyle, positive self-esteem, and knowledge to make informed decisions. Students of All Ages My adult school/college students see the value in education. My gentleman students are focused on getting a job or getting a better job. My ladies are focused on helping their children with their schoolwork or furthering their own education. Some ESL students simply want to learn English so that they can talk to their doctor or neighbor without a translator. Whatever their goal, education is the vehicle to reach their goals. With younger students, they might not always see the value in education. In my own experience as a student, I learned most from teachers who were passionate about what they taught. It is up to parents and teachers to instill the thirst of learning and explain why learning is important. Education Beyond Classrooms Not attending formal school, is not an excuse not to learn. As long as you are living, you can and should be learning. Technology has allowed us all to be inter-connected and to benefit from what others teach without paying a dime.
