Learn Something. Pass it on.

As I looked at this article from The Fischbowl; Learn Something, Pass it on (http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2008/11/learn-something-pass-it-on.html), this quote caught my eye. “Maybe I got my desire from my parents; the desire to learn something, and pass it on”-Steve Inskeep. He then goes on to say that this good description of why he blogs. This specific quote is very inspirational and got me thinking; if you don’t learn anything, then why do you go to school?

Here in America we have the great opportunity to go to school and to get an education, in fact it’s not just an opportunity it’s a law. When we as students get this opportunity, we get more opportunities with it. Such as, getting better jobs and getting to go to college. I think we take an advantage of this. People in other countries don’t get an education either because they can’t afford it or because it’s not in there culture. They are raised to work and not to go to school.

Think about when they look at our country…and the kinds of things they say about us and not wanting to go to school, and how we turn down the opportunities that come along with our education. If they were here in America they would probably love to come to school every day, try their hardest to get good grades. My question is: Why can’t we try our hardest to get the best education we can? Why do we have to be told by others how great it is to be in school? Why can’t we pass on what we learn?
