I was born for a classroom.

I AM NOT BORN FOR A CLASSROOM!
Education is to build
Education is to guide
Education is the light.
     But*
Education just builds and it doesn't select the foundation.
Education just leads and sometimes doesn't check to see you following.
Education enlightens the way but does not hold the light till the end of the tunnel.
It says "I will show you what to do and I will leave you to know how". Education without the imprint of wisdom and good character is as worthless as learning without passion.
I was born to make a difference . My Earth needs me.
I am not here to only make a living, I am here to enrich the world by living.
           But*
I am taught to be a victim, instead of starting victories.
I am trained as a consumer, to look for the finished instead of being the pre-sumer to look for solutions.
Education is now selfish! It wears me as a jacket with the same old strategy as a trouser. I am supposed to wear my education as my jacket, because I should be flexible with the strategies I wear underneath.
It should "SUIT" me, and not me it!!!!
So I refuse to stay in a "class" when I should be allowed to create my own "class".
Learning takes us through many stages in life but it fails us utterly in the hours of danger and temptation.  All your scholarship, all your mastery of arts and sciences would be in vain if at the same time you did not build character and attain mastery over your thoughts and actions.
So in me is a class! One that doesn't grade like education does, one that doesn't stigmatize like education does.  Intelligence is not and cannot be measured by grades.
Can you categorize something that is diverse? I am not the mistakes education says I am, I am not the pieces of the dream education sets free but in disguise locks up.
I am my own education, I am my light, the developer of my hidden potential. I am not frightened because I refuse to be afraid. You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.
Why should I fit into a system that doesn't want me to standout?
I am my own education, I was not born for a classroom.
