Forever a Student

In my personal opinion, I don't think we ever cease to be a student. Before we started schooling, we learnt how to crawl, walk, talk. When we started schooling, we learnt different languages (unless this does not apply to you), mathematics, science, etc. After we enter the workforce, we learn how to work with others, how to apply what we learnt in school to our job etc. (Now it's in present tense because I'm still a student LOL.) If we decide to start a family, we'll learn what it means to be a spouse and a parent. Even as we grow older, we might decide to enrol in some courses to better ourselves. Life is a journey of learning (to me). I'm against the concept of not educating female children too, mainly because I'm a girl and I'm schooling right now... And also because I believe in equal opportunities. Why are girls being denied education just because they were born girls? I don't believe in the whole idea of girls becoming mothers later hence they don't need education either. Nowadays, especially in developed countries, we're seeing females with good education entering the workforce. They can be the breadwinners of the family as much as the males too. I could go on and on about this... In a nutshell, I believe education should be given to both genders. An interesting topic you brought up here! This reminds me of a book I read before, Sing To The Dawn by Minfong Ho in which the main character, Dawan (a girl) is persuaded to give up her scholarship of an education in the City (she lives in a rural area) for her brother Kwai because she's a girl. If you haven't read that before, give it a go?

nitinnair, we all will always be students of life. We learn what's right and wrong, what we like or don't like. We learn all kinds of lessons that will take us to the end of our times. One main thing I have learned is to not quit once a big goal is undertaken and that I will reap the benefits when that goal is obtained. Keep learning!!

Well, I do agree with your point. We never cease to learn and so literally, despite graduating in any course, we are still a student in this school we call life. It is a never ending process. I also think, that everyone deserves to learn and be educated, regardless of gender, culture and race.

I think we are forever a student, especially people who are taking up courses similar to mine, computer science.. since there are always changes in technology and computer industry so we have to learn them too and maybe even make new technology/software ourselves.

Hi this is how I see it.we are all ways a students of life. Which make life fun Even when were Done with work And school. We never know what life Can bring then we can teach what We Learn to our kid's if we have any And more. For me I enjoy learning new things And I all so enjoy teaching what I know. OK have good day.

Hi friend, good to hear about your project work and you have an assistant for it. Sadly now you are not a student, it is really hard to become student for our life long.
