Education

Yesterday I was thankful for education. I may not be the best writer, the fastest reader or the most eloquent speaker, but I can read some amazing books written by creative and eloquent writers, I can write a coherent sentence that I won't be ashamed of later in life and I can speak English and even some German. I have been reading The Book Thief, lately. It is set in Nazi Germany and I can actually understand most of the German phrases in the book years after living in Germany. If we end up in Belgium (one of 5-6 options for our next assignment), I thought this knowledge would give me a head-start in learning to communicate. Nope, I was wrong. We looked it up real quick. Belgium has 3 official languages and the predominantly spoken is actually French! Oh, well, the other nice thing about education is, that it never stops!
