I fell through the holes in the educational system. But education is still a way to change a life.

Education used to be a slice of life, something you did as a child through college, and then spent the rest of your life working, and then death. Everything is about to change. I believe education will become something that fits seamlessly into life, and we will take big clunky things like degrees and college and fit them into a weekend.

Marriage is a school itself. Also, having children. Becoming a father changed my whole life. It taught me as if by revelation.

My focus is mainly on education. I believe education made all the difference for me, and it is certainly going to make all the difference for other children, too.

As Governor of North Carolina for two terms, I made improving education a top priority.

Education equals choices. I have been blessed with the choice to be anything I ever wanted to be, and I truly owe my happiness to my family and education.

Education is the foundation for all we do in life, it shapes who we are and what we aspire to be. Creativity fuels innovation, and it's what all states should strive to instill in the next generations.

Education helps you to be a well-rounded person, period. It teaches you how to take in information and data, process it, and use it for life building. Education was key in my family. You were going to college.

For me, having the opportunity to go to college was very important. To miss out on an education is a loss.
