Today in grammar class, English 101, I met one of my classmates, Jamarric Looney, a native of Gadsden, Alabama and it caught my attention the way he thought about education and the main goals he set in his life referring education.
As a curious person I asked him why he was in college; not everybody is motivated for their own selves but instead for the money. Jamarric told me that his main goal to be in college was to improve his education and with it of course, means the financial part too,.
In order to achieve a better way of life, his most important goal right now is to finish college and teach Computer Science.
As we talked I could find out that his main interest at this moment is his family; followed by his education. Something that I really admire, it showed me that not only he is intelligent but showed me the kind of person he is for not everybody takes family as his/her family as a main interest. To me a person without education is like a car without gas: has no use at all!.
His interest in health caught me out of guard. What young person will name health as an interest? Well, as we talked I found out the reason for his interest in health: as a diabetic person, he follows all the advances that medicine makes referring everything Diabetes and the ways to stay fit for him to live in a better shape.
Last but not least he talked to me about his hobbies and how computers was one of them, I was happy to find out that at least I am not sick liking computers, I found somebody that shares the same interest , the other hobby he has is cars in general. .
I finished my interview (kind of) wishing Jamarric the best and thinking to myself how lucky I was to have a classmate with that kind of thinking. What will be of all of us if we shared the same interests? I thought nothing bad should happen, it will be a better world; with less misery and more things to do with intelligence.
That proved to me that "Ignorance is the enemy of Humanity".
