Education comes in all forms, and academic education is only one. We are influenced more by our parents, peers, and surroundings than education. Of course, history and global events are inspiring, and may motivate a student to study certain subjects or enter specific fields, but we cannot deny the powerful effects of familial relations and social environments on our personalities and outlooks. Even with all the scholarly knowledge in the world, one may not be able to handle difficult social situations wisely.
I attended school with two twins, Anna and Michelle, who were physically identical in every way: both had dark brown, wavy hair, hazel green eyes, and were extraordinarily tall. But every person in our class was able to tell the two apart from the first day of school because of how different each was. Anna and Michelle were both top students, competing with each other for the best grades and academic recognition. However, Anna was sullen and rather moody, always unable to hold a conversation with anyone for over a few minutes. Michelle was gregarious, charming, and very popular, adept at making friends. I later learned that Michelle had been very active in sports and dance classes as a child, where she learned to socialize. On the other hand, Anna had never bothered with social classes or situations, and preferred to sit at home alone, drawing and painting, or teaching herself the piano. So while Michelle learned to engage others, Anna never sought the opportunity to do so; as a result, Anna’s social skills were far less developed than her sister’s.
