THE PATH: Emphasis on Learning

(click to enlarge)

MY WHISPER:  Thanks, Mom and Dad. I feel extremely fortunate that I grew up in a family that put an emphasis on education. We probably took it for granted at the time, but with you guys it was always “WHERE are you going to college?” – not “ARE you going to college?”  I’m sure there are millions of families that never discuss college – or even the possibility of college – with their children. That makes my heart sad. Even though you guys never graduated from college, the significance of learning was never compromised. You guys even took it a step further, instilling a determination and work ethic to help us reach our educational goals.
