Education is growth, Education is not a preparation for life, it is life itself." Life is like mountain tops and valleys, that entrance certificate from public school, Graduation from high school, teacher's certificate from Normal School, she felt she was very clever and well educated. educated. In September when 30 kids from eight grades marched in with one goal - to try out the new teacher - she felt she didn't know a thing. Even being a farmer's daughter had not educated her to be a farmer's wife. This was a real challenge. The first baby - so much to learn, by the fifth baby confidence returns to be soon lost with teenagers. That was a real course. Then grandchildren - more in-laws, more ideas, more need for respect, tolerance and courage. courage. She gave us much more for thought and closed with the thought "As long as you live keep learning how to live". The topic "The Newest in today's Agriculture" and slides on Embryo Transfer were both very enlightening and informative. Canada is one of the top countries in this test so they are working very hard with it to keep that standard. standard.
