Education: A Powerful Weapon of Change - Nelson Mandela
In her last address as the United States Of America's first lady, Michelle Obama kept reiterating the need for good education. In all her speeches to the young people, she never descended the podium without telling them the importance of good and sound education. I can't forget her last speech where she said that with good education, you can aspire to be anything in the world, even the President of the USA. This touched me. In my school days, my lecturers, in their bid to encourage (and threaten) us to study beyond the school syllables, always told us that the school can only give us 30% of the education we need. The remaining 70%, we have to get ourselves through ardent reading, studying, researches, observing and of course, experience.
