There is a quote that goes: “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.”
I don't think education is expensive. I think it's priceless!
And you can' quote me on that.
I love the idea of education. I love the idea of formal education. I love the idea of higher education. If you had told me that I could attend school abroad in another country and pursue my education, I would have jumped at the chance. Alas! That chance was not afforded me.
But many others were given the opportunity and they embraced it. Those people are by our standards “successful” and well known. People like:
- Freddie Mercury (1946–1991) ~ (“Queen” lead singer, songwriter, and musician)
- Kerry Washington (1977 - ) ~ (actress aka “Olivia Pope”)
- Bill Murray (1950 - ) ~ (actor and comedian, “Saturday Night Live”, “Ghostbusters”)
There are lots more. If you're curious to know who they are you'll find quick summaries – names, some photographs, where they were born, and where they studied.

I know the times are perilous with terrorist attacks and the dangers posed by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. But if you had the opportunity, would you like to study abroad.
