Education is Freedom!

So there I was, sprawled out on my rock-hard green couch in my first apartment, feeling totally stuck. Life post-divorce meant juggling Starbucks shifts and raising three kids with no savings or real job prospects.

Then, one day, it hit me: "I can go to school!" Suddenly, education felt like my way out. It became my new mantra: "Education is the foundation of my freedom." I dove into my studies with everything I had, pushing through every challenge like a warrior.

This path felt right, and soon enough, I got some signs that confirmed it. Once, at the airport, I saw an ad with Oprah Winfrey saying, "Education is Freedom." It was like the universe was telling me I was on the right track. Then, on TikTok, I stumbled upon a book titled "EDUCATION IS FREEDOM!" and it just clicked—I wasn’t alone in believing this.

These moments really drove home how much learning could change things. From my days on that uncomfortable couch to finding others who shared my belief, education has completely transformed my outlook.

If you’re feeling trapped, think about hitting the books. It's never too late to start, and trust me, it’s worth it. You'll be in great company.
