The Importance of Education

Hey Everybody,

How do you teach your children the "Importance of Education"? I think you teach them through positive reinforcement, positive parenting, and by example. I did not become a university student until later in my own life but I always stipulated the importance of education. I told my olderst child, who is fifteen, that education will literally 'open doors' for you, will allow you to market yourself in an ever changing and challenging world. Being a First Nations person, in my opinion, some people will not look on this as a positive, if you will, but being an educated First Nations person allows for you to intelligently fight for what your rights as a human being and as a First Nations person. Being a strong First Nations person is something I believe in and I hope that others do as well. Education is at the top of my list of goals I want to achieve. With support and committment this goal will be achieved sooner than later.
