Keep Educating Yourself

(The Wrap-Up Magazine) Knowledge is power and education is the key. You can educate yourself or go to college. For many young people, earning a college degree is the logical first step on the path to a successful career. Keep a open mind and look for distractions.

Read lots of books. When you think you can read at a higher grade level, start reading harder books. After all the reading, you should have learned something. Use the Internet. The Internet has a lot of useful websites, and some not very useful ones to. Use only the reliable websites to learn as much as you can. Self-directed learning is one solution to the college debate.

All education is self-education. Period. It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting in a college classroom or a coffee shop. We don’t learn anything we don’t want to learn. Can you educate yourself? Of course you can. It requires a willingness to learn, the self discipline to stay focused and do what you have to do.
