Education is the key to a bright future

| February 25, 2016 12:26 PM

Education, wisdom and knowledge is the key to success. Love is also the key to success. With love and education you can move mountains. With love and education you can do anything. It breaks my heart every day how Congress continues to cut funds out of education. Bless the poor teachers just doing all and everything they can to make it work. These teachers do it because they love the kids and they want to see the kids live a bright future.

Thanks and God bless every teacher in this world for hanging in there. Stay strong. My favorite blues singer said, “A change is coming, if you don’t give up.” Myself, I’m going to fight and do everything in my power to keep education strong, and I’ll be writing Congress asking them to fight for education, fight for children, fight for overworked, broken-hearted teachers.

As a nation, we used to treat our teachers and children a lot better than we do these days. Thanks, teachers. God hasn’t forgotten you guys. Everyone donates to education.

Next month, March, I’ll be receiving a high school diploma, and I’m a happy man in Moses Lake. With this diploma there’s no limits, just a bright future. I didn’t get my diploma at a young age, but I got it at an old age. Together let us all take a bold stand for education. Young people, old people, get and seek education. Education is our future and past.
