Education

Websters Dictionary"The bringing up as of a child; instruction, is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper and form the manners and habits of youth and fit them for usefulness in their future stations"
Quotes"For members of the Church, education is not merely a good idea—it’s a commandment.
We are to learn "of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which
have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at
home, things which are abroad."1"Joseph Smith loved learning even though he had few opportunities for formal education. In his journals, he spoke happily of days spent in study and often
expressed his love of learning."
-Dieter F Uchdorf from his talk " learn"
"We live in a world where knowledge is developing at an ever-accelerating rate. Drink deeply from this ever-springing well of wisdom and human experience.
—Gordon B. Hinckley, Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley

For the youth:For the young men:
"I call your attention to another matter that gives me great concern. In revelation the Lord has mandated that this people get all the education they can. He has been very clear about this. But there is a troubling trend taking place. Elder Rolfe Kerr, Commissioner of Church Education, advises me that in the United States nearly 73 percent of young women graduate from high school, compared to 65 percent of young men. Young men are more likely to drop out of school than young women.
"Approximately 61 percent of young men enroll in college immediately following high school, compared to 72 percent for young women.
"In 1950, 70 percent of those enrolled in college were males, and 30 percent were females; by 2010 projections estimate 40 percent will be males, and 60 percent will be females.
And so I say to you young men, rise up and discipline yourself to take advantage of educational opportunities. Do you wish to marry a girl whose education has been far superior to your own? We speak of being ‘equally yoked.’ That applies, I think, to the matter of education."
"Women have earned more bachelor’s degrees than men every year since 1982 and more master’s degrees since 1986
For the young women:
Keep it up!!!!!
Scripture:"For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line,
precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken
unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto
him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from
them shall be taken away even that which they have."

My Thoughts:I need a better education! I have gone through the "Love of Learning" phrase, but do I
really LOVE learning? I think that God LOVES learning, and I want to , too. I'm thankful for
the wonderful opportunity I have to learn and become someone better.
Take advantage of opportunities to gain more knowledge.
