What do you do to change the world?

March 26, 2009 Front Page No Comments

Most of the time, we act like education is supposed to end at 12th grade, or when you get that college diploma. Why do we think adults should keep their heads down, stop paying attention to the world, and live for that biweekly paycheck?

Why do we leave it to the idealism of kids to energize us and to dream big? That is a mindset that we’ve let ourselves settle into; we need to break the mold and let our unique creativity, our natural thirst for knowledge, come out.

The key to social change is the understanding that we have to think bigger, do more, and learn from our victories and defeats. Education is a life time pursuit; it’s the pursuit of a life time, facing the challenges of our world and bringing each other across the finish line.
