Education is a word that we all have our own individual biased, experiences, and general judgment of.
Education is an action that gives a silent validity to who we are and what we have done in life based upon the education we choose to receive or not to receive.
We do not need to declare who we are because the efforts of our lives will be witnessed and evidenced by what we each choose to receive as a gift it is to self or merely to be disregarded as a valuable asset that the human creation of education is to our current day society.
But no denial or debates can ever be given about education because education is a contributor to your immediate daily life because all that you have, own and possess in your life is because of the education some one else received to benefit our humanity and your home and life directly too!
Education is a hidden asset in every day life - whether it is acknowledged individually as such or not.
A Person I Used to Know clung to education. Education was as a saving grace for this person.
Education allowed this abused child and abused teenager to escape from the horrors of a dysfunctional, immoral and unlawful people. The only contact of people she knew in her youth life was a criminal family and those in the education of public school.
Every day at school to this person was a relief of momentary escapes from the hell this person faced at home. From the earliest of this person's childhood memories until she held that high school graduation certificate - this person knew that education had saved her life and did help to ease all the traumas of the abuse she endured. Abuse she held within of silence for almost 2 decades of her life. But her learning of education was far from over to be the person and obtain the quality of life that she desperately sought to get past surviving to merely living. But she never forgot to apply education to her daily life to provide quality to it that she received no other way. The silent gift that she gave her self that would not only save her through her most difficult times but would give enhancement to the rest of her life too.
This person I Used to Know was me. I never lost the value of education in my life that once was a survival skill that has now became a pleasurable, peaceful and wonderful daily asset to my life even now.
Do I make a lot of money? No. Do I own several homes or am rich? No. So what possibly could education benefit me - you ask - and what can education do for you and others in your life?
Think about it. Problems arise every single day in every individual life out there.
Your experiences of your life are an education of living and surviving that another person will never know how to solve - unless you share your experiences with them. Their experiences you can never be taught or know from a book - no matter the subject content - without knowing their individual and personal struggles, hardships, achievements and accomplishments of their survivals and living.
Education of the experiences of others who are different than we are - is still the most valued education we can give and share with others. For none of us are experts - but we can become experts when we admit our problems, seek solutions to our problems and work together to solve those problems so others will not ever know these problems as their own. See how does the experiences of people guide us to become educators of humanity?
Think about it. Parents try to teach their children based upon the data of their lives and the experiences they endured without giving regards to the social, electronic, economic, geographical and environmental changes or difference that their children and their youth endure today.
But how many generations of adults follow into the heritage of occupations based upon their own family or generations before them? How many parents were teen parents or high school drop outs will make the necessary sacrifices of work to ensure their children or youth do not follow their own mistakes they made? Now, how many of these individuals will actually just follow the same first appearing comfortable paths of dysfunction, immorality or unlawfulness of their heritages or family traditions? How many are actually raised and rendered to be their own person of individuality in families - even if is not acceptable or per the wishes of their parents?
We are each imperfect individuals. In our imperfections - each individual mistakes does give us a humane way to become educated by these problems from another experiences - so we can each be a contributor to solve the problems for good.
If we perceived each individual as a teacher, mentor or educator of their own culture lifestyle and respected the different experiences of their survival and living - then how much more could we do in assisting this slow process of solving society and civilization problems?
Would you ever intentionally strike up a conversation with some one different than you? Would you really listen to a homeless person or a drug addict or a drunk or anyone who you felt uncomfortable around to hear what their experiences taught them to help others in prevention or awareness to solve future homelessness, harmful addictions, alcoholism or anything other ailment of choices that others make? Would you listen to use their words to prevent or stop future occurrences?
Would you know of a way to intervene that would help troubled individuals to help them self so that they could become as contributors to solving the social problems - without producing dependants - that many of our programs in use do - instead of creating permanent solutions - to the problems we have today that are ineffective at solving the problem but only enable it?
Individuality is a beautiful educational dose of solving problems that formal education can not teach about survival and living that each of us has done.
Until we can get past the external appearances of those we see and simply stop to converse and assist others different than us - nothing will change. For every one problem solved - there will be another to rise because the individual invalidation processes continue that only reap future generations of these same multiplying issues.
Each problem in humanity equally shares and holds a common property. It does not matter what social, economic, scientific, geographical, medical, mathematical, emotional or financial status a problem holds - they all still have the same equal property.
This equality is a root of origin where the problem began for it to exist, thrive, and survive. Once we perceive a root of a problem in the origin of where it begins - that we can gain the education needed to solve that problem. The problems of all people do have an origin of where their problems began. The solutions to these problems of individuality are held in the experiences of their education of origin that comes from their living and surviving experiences. But until each person is viewed, valued and accepted as an educator too - nothing in humanity will ever truly grow or prosper for regression will always be the circle jerk that plaques all generations in future or past times. We learn nothing. We solve nothing. We produce nothing effective for individuals in society and keep using fast solutions and creating and enabling dependencies.
What we have in society is a ripple effect of decades of history in heritages at work every single day. Some of these individual origins of educational experience are at work contributing to increase the quality of our lives that benefit us all daily.
For many tho, individuals are deducts based upon their origins of educational experiences because they simply do not know how to do any better for their life or they really have no options because the only solutions that exist are that of dependency, ignorance and heritages of family history that fail them so they stay on the course of their own experiences 'cause it is all they have.
Effective communication takes a listening ear. A slow response to understand their origin of their problems and using the experiences of formal education and the educational experiences of living and surviving of others to create positive solutions.
America is a wonderful country with deep financial pockets, talks of impossible dreams that could be achieved and a hope that we are united. There is nothing farther from the truth and facts of American lives than this. But until we really learn how to bridge the uniting of our diverse citizens, we are just a country segregated by the problems we curse in another but do nothing to seek their input to help assist in the process of solving these problems.
So in the year 2014- seek every day to share your experiences of living and surviving educational experiences that you learned from your own survival and living experiences.
For what you may first perceive as something not valuable - that you endured - it could very well be the knowledge that another needs to increase their quality of life, health, medical, financial or economical status.
I learned many lessons the hard way because of my choices that produced trial and error the hard way. Formal education goes along way in securing the financial comfort that a person wants to achieve in life - but it was the formal education of my school years that gave me a fire to learn more, grow more, explore more and be more than anything I witnessed in my youth. This value is personally more important to me than financial gain as what I deprived of and learned to gain was a moral and humane way of life that money could never take away from me nor be used to define me.
It was through my listening, hearing, and seeking to grow understanding through the diversity and differences of others in their living and surviving educational experiences that came from their hard knock school of life that I gained my most valuable qualities that I have always tried to share.
It was through their sharing with me - that we solved many problems for myself and with others. We became contributors to others who were struggling with their own problems and these educational experiences of others life and their input directly that I learned that humanity could be obtained, achieved, and even hoped for and reasons to believe that it does live and exist every single day.
For humanity is not a one person job to make better nor any expert to do solo - but it takes every one doing their own small part every day to believe, grow, explore, learn and appreciate the differences in others' experiences as a valued education that gives us legit and logical reasons to witness, be a part of, and to share and enjoy a humanity that we all deserve to receive and achieve. To not only acknowledge individual problems exist from an origin but help our self and them to move on beyond their problems so they can be resolved and progress us all together in a humane unity that I know we all could use a little bit more of this good stuff in our lives.
For humanity is only really a dream for believers unless there are active contributors to the process to factual.
So for 2014 - think of your self and the experiences you endured as an educator or mentor to share and give to another. Not as an arrogant professional or a formal educated expert but as a person of compassion, understanding and to giveback daily and receiving daily as a contributor to the humane process of life.
For the knowledge you have - can solve another problems and what they could share with you - could also solve your problems as well.
