This Tip provides wonderful quotes related to filling our students with light as we educate them and send out rays of knowledge.
“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.” Margaret Fuller
We Enlighten Our Students
I just read that “enlighten” means “to educate.” That has either never occurred to me or I once knew it and have since forgotten about it.
I love to think of learning that way!
There are so many ways that education enlightens our students:
- It lights the way to new options and opportunities,
- It lightens their burdens of doubt and ignorance,
- It beams a light on their strengths and abilities,
- It ignites the light of curiosity and hope within them.
I am so honored to be among the light bearers.
