When I meet new people, one question I commonly receive is "why do you keep going to school, you must love the punishment". WOW, I never viewed education as bad or punishment. In my mind, education is a privilege and I want to learn as much as I can in my short time on this planet. In other countries, children walk for miles to go to a dingy "classroom" and many can't afford an education, or are prevented from obtaining any due to customary beliefs in the region they reside.
