I'm very happy being part of the community, based on "7 days writing challenge contest", yesterday i made know to you guys about my job history. It was a hard way to survival but is not how much life treated me but how much combo i can take from life and still be progressing towards my goal. God has being helping me to achieved my yearly goal. Today, i feel much delightful to write about my school history from preschool to higher institution. Kindly bear with me as i make known to you my journey in the quest of structured knowledge in control environment called schooling.

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. – Malcolm X

There is conceptual problem between schooling and education. Schooling is an environment structured for attainment of knowledge. Schooling involved using fixed curriculum, education is the transmission of cultural value, ethics and conduct of a society to the next generation and the next. It is trans-generational. Education occurred anywhere, anytime and from whoever. This is why interaction with environment is the key to education. You can stop schooling but if u stop education you are as dead as corpse while alive. Why? Because education is life time reality we experience.

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. – John Dewey

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
– Albert Einstein

Many graduates are broke financially in Nigeria because our society misinterpreted, wrongly applied the concept of education in schooling. our school system failed us on environmental management and integration. Let me tell you guys absent of education in the heart leads to frustration of purpose and life itself. Schooling never touch our heart, it only touch our mind and without the heart creativity becomes blurred.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all ― Aristotle

There are so many things running on my head as am writing but will keep them till time would permit me to share them. Below is my schooling history using the 6-3-3-4 system of education in Nigeria.

I remembered before i entered kindergarten then aunty mosun will gathered children taught us times table and numeracy, then, my parent lived in bajulaye, shomolu in 1990's before we moved to alapere, ketu in 1990. I was enrolled to K.G 1 in hossana nursery and primary school. I'm brilliant in performance in the class among my classmates. However, change in environment at that formative age affected my cognitive memory because in bajulaye nothing like video game, however, everything was control aunty mosun had daily schedule for children especially during summer, in alapere, i was exposed to games, had friends so the environment impact my memory.

To worsen it, i attend arowosegbe public school, ketu. It was bad, but one day, i was in primary 2, then, my mom was a very busy trader, she would wake up early and come back 10pm. So i have time to interact with environment, make friends, etc. This freedom became my enemies academically, i couldn't write my name. My mom as me what is my name? I reply it. Then, she said to me to write it down. I couldn't she was amazed.!! she enrolled me into private school called Eunid Nursery and primary school at mafowokun street, a street beside our street, memudu. I started from Nursery 2 after assessment imagine from primary 2 to nursery 2. However, i quickly recovered cognitively and became the best. When the tuition fee was to high for my mom.
