After reading the three This I Believe articles, I can clearly see that education means something different for everyone. In the first essay, a teacher is fighting for the education of his students. It's a battle. He spends his time making sure underprivileged kids graduate and get their own education. He also trains in a martial arts gym. In both situations, it is a battle. He takes his martial arts and it provides kids with different knowledge on different subject matters. In the end, everything is a fight. A fight in the literal sense and a fight in the figurative sense. In the second story, Mike turned his life around with education. He was a punk kid on the streets and saw what was going on around him. He decided to take the high road and go to college. He looks back now and sees what happened to his former friends.The last story is about a girl who learns from her nona. She takes lessons and valuable information from her grandmother's life and applies it to her own. In this case, there is no schooling, only experience. In the end, education can come from many things. It all just depends on how it effects you, your future, and how you use it.
