The Definition of Education

I know some people think 

That education doesn't matter

To the point where they even show it

With their grades on the brink

And their minds somewhere else

I know some are under the impression

That learning is just turning the page

And jotting down notes with that teacher you loathe

But great intellect comes with some expression

And doing more than what you're told

Now I know what you're trying to tell me

"I'm not like those kids, I'm different"

But when you're still giving half your effort into the game

Who do you want to be?

Average is as average does.

I guess it's time to tell you how I feel

It's more than just facts and figures

It's a lifestyle and I intend to fulfill it

Education comes with a seal

Of my approval and I never want to waste it.a
