Some kinds of education are a natural part of life. Every normal (and most abnormal) people begin learning at birth or earlier. Everyone learns from their experiences everyday. It is not really possible for a human being to avoid learning. So education is natural.

Other kinds of education are formal presentations of information on particular topics, such as reading instruction, or physics, or auto mechanics, or botany. Some people get this kind of education, but others do not.

Learning new things is one of the most exciting experiences in life. Maybe the only exciting thing.
