Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people 48 care about us---our parents, brothers, sisters, and friends---are our teachers. 49 fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning from 50 day we were born, not from the first day we go to school. Every day we have new experiences, 51 finding a bird’s nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn’t like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share 52 with other people.

Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as 53 as possible. 54 we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Only thinking about cooking does 55 tell you whether you are good at it or not.
