Education is The Foundation
The 2021 theme is “Education is The Foundation.”
That is true all the way back to “Each One, Teach One.” Without an education, we are easily taken advantage of. Education gives you time to mature in an environment filled with all kinds of new ideas. Some of the people you meet in school will become lifelong friends and allies in your journey.
The COVID-19 Pandemic both exposed and widened the gap between the educated and uneducated. So get as much education as you can and do it while you are young. It’s not easy, but nothing worthwhile is impossible. Education puts you in front of a lot more open doors.
