E for Education

Day 90 - March 31, 2010

 

Drove north to the province of Pangasinan today to speak at the graduation rites of an elementary school there.

 

The theme was "Education: Changing Lives."

 

I don't know about changing lives per se, but I do know that education opens doors of opportunity and gives us the power to make something out of ourselves. I end my day hoping that in some little way I was able to give some kid the confidence to know that no matter how lofty the dream, it is attainable with heart, positive thinking and hard work.

 

Lately I've been thinking a lot about kids who are not able to get a proper education mostly because they can't afford it. Haven't figured how yet but I wish we could all do something to help.
