For 13 years, I struggled with education and have only just realised that I was actually struggling to protect myself from it. I was trying to protect my soul.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I fell through the holes in the educational system. But education is still a way to change a life.
I left school at 15 feeling fairly useless and not really up to scratch in my education. And I still suffer sometimes from that lack of education.
My education was very tough.
All my life, I just felt that I should have finished my education.
I have spent more than a decade trying to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable people on earth, and they've taught me countless lessons.
If education is protection to life, you will realize that it is necessary that education accompany life during its whole course.
I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.
I always managed to get in trouble, like every kid. But I had to learn a lot of hard lessons on my own, without parents who would nurture me and guard me through that part of life, at a very young age.
I have spent my whole life educating myself.
I was accorded the opportunity to learn by failing - albeit at the cost of a few honourable teachers' sanity - and now I realise what a rare and incredible luxury that is.
