Learning has always captivated me. When I was 9, I wanted to go to summer school. My mom told me I could go if I would agree to do all my own ironing (that was in the time before polyester and wrinkle-free fabrics.) I did it.
My mom bought a World Book encyclopedia when I was 12. After chores and homework were done every night, I would pull out a volume and read it for hours. I would fall asleep on the dictionary at night. I'd give my "i" teeth to have a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary.
As a junior in high school I was very ill, and missed 30 days of school. I took night classes, and full-day summer school -and graduated at the end of that year. My mother calls that year the year I was "goofing off."
After high school, I went to cosmetology school, then I started college while I worked. Working slowed down my college education, but I never gave up. It took 35 years, but I finished last June.
Yes, education is important to me.

My education is so important that my parents would not help me pay for it, so I decided to join the military and work to afford to attend college.
Been pulled out of school 3 times for military purposes but still come back to finish up.

it depends on where the education is coming from. from schools and teachers who do not teach anything, not so much. from learning outside of schools, realizing it is fact and not fiction, learning how to survive, learning about different cultures by experiencing them first hand, very important.

Extremely. I always laugh when I see the bumper sticker that reads: YOU THINK EDUCATION IS EXPENSIVE, TRY IGNORANCE. That totally sums up my thinking.
