All aspects of our lives are full of dry holes and discoveries, especially when we are in the midst of our university studies. Obtaining a degree helps us learn the basic concepts, building a framework for understanding the world. However, it is not until we drill some wells, and find out for ourselves through our own experience the costs and the returns for various scenarios that we obtain an education. Never think your education process is over, and recognize the degree is not the end goal. I'm here because I gave an old car to SUU because Aunt Mary May Nelson wanted it out of her garage before she died, and then my mother-in-law, Maxine Shirts, wanted it out of her garage before she sold her house. Why are you here? Are you here only to obtain a degree, or are you starting on the road of furthering your education?
