The heart beats, and as it beats, it creates a rhythm like no other. Its warm sound oscillates throughout our bodies, tickling the nerve senses, and allowing us to breath. For every moment, in every day, it plays the same timeworn rhythm. Time is finite, and yet we, as humans take it for granted. The days join together and questions arise from early on in our lives: Why do we live? How do we live? How long will we live?

Knowledge is there to spark development, to spark mental activity and to spark interest. Education is a system made for children designed to help them shape a meaning and purpose in life. Each way of knowing seeks to enhance our lives and provide and insight for our future. The more knowledge an individual can grasp, the more meaning he will have. I was taught that knowledge is the key; it will shape who you are in the future, it will carve your decisions, and lastly create a path which you will soon follow.
