Twice a week I head to the local high school to teach Adult Education and twice a week I am impressed by the commitment people make to transform their lives through education. Since we live in Maine most of the school session we travel in the dark and a lot of times the cold and by travel I mean by car and by foot for some. Many of the people who come to class have families and work full time jobs. Most days we gather together dragging our feet---really who wants to go to school at 5pm and get out at 9? However, once I am in the door the students make sticking around easy. Education is transformation in the greatest sense---what ever we are learning transforms the way we are in the world ---
therefore the world!
