“Education goes beyond shaping us as individuals and enhancing our perspectives. It can help you become a better citizen and build a better society. Educating the next generation helps fight back against ignorance. It helps people learn about the community at large and develop informed opinions on world issues. With educated opinions, we can support each other and make decisions that help establish a positive change in our communities.”
