KNOWLEDGE IS FUN
Science and knowledge, including theories and speculation affect everything we do.
The knowledge and data (bits of information) we have accumulated help predict trends for the future. What you are learning in school will help you understand the trends and plan your future.
Today most knowledge is available to everyone on the internet. The problem with the internet is that sometimes people who are not really informed are offering data that is either wrong or is misleading. We must all learn to determine what information is good and what is bad. This is a difficult task.
If you are still in school ask a teacher or counselor you trust, to help you find the right knowledge in books and on the internet. Perhaps join a study group for your favorite subject. A group of students in my area just formed a club that studies bees. Several adults are learning in this group also. Bees are important to the future of our food supply. Do you know why?
Have fun with knowledge. Learning seems like a chore when you are very young — but when you are older and can learn more and more it becomes exciting and fun.
