Education been a worthwhile experience "Education" is too general to consider in all its aspects, I shall consider it only in terms of its role in school. A school is a place where many people of diverse cultures and attitudes converge to. The first things I learned in primary school was that they are so many different kinds of people. I experienced the pains and pleasures of getting to know my schoolmates. I discovered my own strengths and weakness and the social roles each one of us played. I learned the meaning of tolerance , team-work, friendship as well as prejudice, selfishness and enmity. Some experiences were uplifting while some were depressing. However, when taken as a whole these experiences taught me how to handle life without getting into too much trouble. I have to cope with them. By mixing and socializing in school I learned to fit into society and live according to its norms. I would not know what to do and worst of all I would not have friends to help me in times of need.
