The Education of Little Tree

Rock- I come from a Native American background. My ancestors lived in the Ozarks. I rarely think of them even when I see what is happening on the news in places like South Dakota.

It is often disputed as to whether our education shapes our identity. Education itself does not shape identity, but friends, foes, and exposure to different interests all play a role in shaping one’s identity. Friends grow up with us, offering moral support and adding little touches to our personalities. Foes, on the other hand, can have negative impacts on our beings. It’s these negative experiences, however, that shape our present identities. The varying interests of our peers that we are…

skills demonstrated were in fact, abusive. One may also wonder just how Jeanette, Lori, Brian, and Maureen were able to be successful in adulthood.

Learning is so much more than school to me. The typical system of education has little value in my eyes. We grow from reading between the lines and infusing passion into our environments.
