Value of Education

My attitude toward learning has not changed since. Low and behold, three years after I signed up for my first English class, I found myself living in the United States, sending sincere thank you letters to my English teacher for supplying me with survival skills.

Going to school in Saigon, Viet Nam, I took English outside of school. However, some, including myself, felt that any offer of knowledge was to be accepted and stored away for possible later use. If I had not taken my class seriously, my integration into the American society would have taken much longer. Living up to my motto, "The measure of learning is its application," I prepare myself for all situations and achieve well roundness. Striving to excel in every class I take, I regard education in all areas as relevant to my life, rather than remote. I try to link each piece of new information either to my intended field of studies (Physics/Mathematics) or to personal enlightenment.
