Default Education!

Life is an ongoing education.
They say you learn something new every day...or you die.
Have to keep the brain active with learning or it withers.

Tell us about your own education....
homeschooling,
in school,
in college,
or just in life.

During the depression, many people had to drop-out during the 4th or 5th grade, to help work and put food on the family table.
Those individuals were very hardworking and tough at a young age to be in the workforce or work hard labor on the farm.

Some individuals are given a full ride scholarship to college, and instead party, and have to drop out, not due to intelligience, but rather to not applying themselves.

I know a young lady, 17, that is emancipated and works full time as a CNA at the hospital, and attending high school fulltime at the same time.

Another lady, my age, I have known for over 20 years at the hospital. I thought she'd been to college. She is very intelligient and has lovely handwriting (I'm jealous). Very surprising, she was not able to complete the 11th grade due to family problems, she had to work to put food on the table for her siblings. Both her children are in college now. I heard she has gotten her EGD and is considering college herself.

Tell us about your education.
