Why Education is a Blessing: Inspiration from a Seton StudentI do feel strongly about an education. When I was younger, I never really appreciated my schooling and the work my parents invested in teaching me. To be honest, it wasn’t until my high school years that I really became inspired to further my

education and to broaden my learning.Being homeschooled, I was able to learn so much more than just the basic schooling and lessons taught from a textbook. I have learned life lessons: humility, charity, how to work and talk with people of all ages, and how to appreciate the life God gave me. Because I wasn’t subjected to the pressure of school and its society and cliques, I was able to

relax and devote time to my studies and life lessons.There were days I didn’t do school, but went out to visit the sick or dying, to pray and gain graces at Mass, to enjoy a day at the park, and I doubled up on school the next day to catch up. That was one of the perks of a home education. But, although I know my education is important, I feel that the valuable lessons I’ve learned; the personality I’ve developed; and the strong faith

I’ve formed have been just as – or perhaps more – beneficial than I ever could have expected.
