Knowledge, education, teaching.
What do these words mean?
A person is the light of those who live
in the darkness of ignorance.
Going to school, one of the most important experiences,
learning new things, learning how everything works,
What would we be without those?
How can someone not go to school?
Unfortunately, this is true,
There are many kids that don’t go to school.
The lessons we learn, the connections we make
from the most basic, to those that change our entire lives.
Do you realize how lucky you are?
