<p>Prompt:
"the more we are educated, the more we discorver about our own ignorance" what do u hope education will help u discover of your own ignorance.</p>
<p>They say all through your life, you never stop learning. Learning and education are more than academics; they involve willingness to open your mind to new ideas, new cultures, and new ways of looking or perceiving things. However, challenging things that Ilearned at our mothers and/or fathers knee, is not an easy venture.</p>
<p>From the time I was born, I was taught simple truths: Dont talk to strangers, Fire is bad and will burn you. We are given clear boundaries: Never touch the stove, Stay in our yard. I was provided with black and white rules. Sense my reasoning was not developed; I learned there is one right way to do things, and I must mimic it to succeed. </p>
<p>As I matured, I learned what is right or is the truth may not be as simple, as I first thought or was taught. Fire can burn you, but it can also help (and possibly save) you by providing needed warmth. Caution concerning people you dont know may be wise, but so is developing a rapport with them and an understanding of them. I must constantly be searching outside the box for new ideas, or a different understanding of the ones we already have. </p>
<p>If I am fortunate enough, my education will lead me to realize that there might be more than one right way to solve a problem or handle a situation. By studying different cultures, I can learn peoples perspectives on what I originally thought or was taught as a simple black and white issue. This will hopefully lead me to a level of thought where I can challenge not only others preconceived notions of what is right or true, but more importantly, my own.</p>
