Good Morning Young Ladies Rising 2 Power,

I don’t want to take up to much of your time this morning. My message today is about education. College education is always the aim for many parents when raising kids. It really seems to be the most logical move after high school, but many parents fail to save for this expensive opportunity. I’m not blaming the parents, because as a parent I understand the demands of the moment. College isn’t the only way to success.

College provides many opportunities that shape the personality and direction of a young adults life. You meet great teachers, professionals in your chosen field, ambitious friends, new cultures, events, the whole atmosphere is a learning experience. If you decide to go, It’s very important to take in all that college life has to offer.

There is another type of education that is as equally important as college. We have been pursuing this education from birth, Our parents have invested many hours, minutes and thoughts into how to perfect this form of education. It’s called self education. It’s how we learned how to talk, walk, give, take, love, cry and play. Self Education is the process of educating yourself. Learning never stops, many great thinkers of the world acquired knowledge before college and continued to pursue knowledge after college.

To believe that college is the only place to gain knowledge is ridiculous. The public library is a great place to start training yourself for whatever occupation you desire. You don’t have to be in medical school to read a medical book. You don’t have to be in law school to know amendments. All the knowledge you need to pour into yourself is at your disposal.

Today, I urge you no matter what age you are 5 to 105 to seek knowledge like your life depends on it. Because truth is it really does. Knowledge isn’t power, but what you do with that knowledge can give you power.

Thanks for reading!!
