What is Education? Is it to have knowledge of worldly things, like math or science? Maybe is it to have knowledge of spiritual things, like of God or Nature? The definition of Education in the Webster Dictionary is “The process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university; or it can an enlightening experience.” So at first it seems education is of worldly things. I think it leans more to the second definition, education is anything that enlightens you. Now fundamentally I believe that everyone is born with a desire to be educated. Children spend all of their time learning and they always want to know more. They always ask questions about everything, everywhere. They are also open to new ideas, obviously

There is even a school out there now that is a Rock Climbing School, which if I had the choice to go there I would in a heart beat. I have had those certain teachers that I have enjoyed, the ones that are truly passionate about what they teach. They are not there just to have you sit, listen, and memorize. They actually are they for you to learn, and I have realized that the best way to learn is to do.
That was Mr. Floyd 's Math class in high school. I had many other teacher than him for math through out school and I did fine but I never enjoyed any of them, until I had him as a teacher.

I think thats another thing I do not agree with. In high school I loved summer break but I hated having to go back to school. Not just because for the fact of going back to school but because I knew the first half of the year all you do in math and science is basically relearn what you forgot during the summer.
Who knows, maybe this is just the stubborn kid inside of me speaking because maybe I just do not like school very much. I could just be biased and all my opinions could be wrong, but hey thats the objective right, to question everything, to have an open mind, to always be willing to learn and see different points of views. Thats what builds true intelligence and character.
Now that doesn 't mean that you should always be questioning what you believe in and just be a pushover. You can still stand strong in your ideas and beliefs but you should never be so narrow minded where you can 't see new points of view or understand where other people are coming from. For me personally I think the best place for me to learn is in nature, I learn more about myself there and I can learn more about others. I also learn from others better in the outdoors more which is a key point. I think this happens because it makes it easier for me to see how
