Quote:

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

~Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin maybe is saying that education is a worthy investment because of what results a person may receive in their long educational journey. If a person gets educated and has completed high school and then college then a person will most likely receive a higher wage than a person who only completed high school. Therefore, education is a worthy investment in the knowledge because it pays the best interest.

Facing the Unendurable, Families Lay to Rest Two Children, Both 6

I never met these children, but in my heart I know they were beautiful and talented each and every one of them. They were children and students who their precious lives where ahead of them. If it was not for their bravery and their actions perhaps more children would have been taken away from this world. This unexplainable act cost the lives of these innocent children. Not only did these brave children help slow the crime, but also the heroic teachers and faculty as well. If it was not for them even more students and faculty may have been gone as well. My respect and grief goes out to these families, teachers, faculty, and to the lives of these beautiful precious innocent children. May they all rest in peace.

Observations:

It is wonderful that schools have Christmas break. Christmas break is a wonderful time to spend with family, decorate the Christmas tree, eat with the family, and I have not forgotten it is a perfect break to open up those textbooks and notes and review them.
