Sorry for taking so long Caitrin, but I had to think about this a bit. Hope I am not too late.

Education is more than I ever imagined it would be.
I use to think it was just a means to getting my degree. But now I realize education was more than getting my degree. It has allowed me to let go of most of what I was taught in my formal education.
By getting my degree, I was able to realize, I could let go of the textbooks and think for myself.
For me it was a ticket to intellectual freedom.
