“Education is not only for children.” To me that quote is true! Anyone at any age can go back to school! My grandpa went straight from high school to the NAVY. Now, he’s retired       and is going back to finish college. The saying “You learn something new every day,” is so true! Even if you graduated, you still learn stuff that you might have not known. You might even re- learn stuff you already learned,and think about it more. You could also learn more about a person you thought you knew every thing about or a book you have read a few times. To me the mare you learn the bigger your brain gets. That might not be scientifically true but, you know. Did you that teachers don’t even know every thing. I know it’s crazy but, true. Not one in history knows every thing.Not even Albert Einstein. You might think you know every thing but, you don’t. So that proves,” Education is not only for children”

😀 THE END!

To me the renaissance was all about “rebirth”. It was the “rebirth” of music, art, science, and learning. During that they created the printing press. This all took place in Italy. One very famous artist Leonardo da Vinci. He painted the Mona Lisa. Another famous artist is Michelangelo. He made the statue of David. He also painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. That’s what I think the Renaissance is all about! 🙂
