Education - the Magnificent Inheritance

This morning I'm thinking about my yen for learning. And, wondering where it came from. What is it that keeps me searching for more answers to questions that arise in my head. This is the thought process I'll concentrate on today. I know myself well enough to know that learning is one of my greatest joys and I have spent all of my life going to school of one sort or another. I presume it comes mostly from my Mother's influence. She was one of seven children, all of whom graduated from college in the 1920's and 30's when the econonmy in the South was far worse than it is now! Her father insisted on that happening. I remember her youngest sister, the last of the children, took cans of milk from their farm to Lander College as part of her tuition payment. Of course, she lived at home. Where does this love for education come from? No doubt from my grandfather's mother or father or both. What a magnificent inheritance!!!!
