What is Worth Knowing?

     "They don't teach you how to love somebody.  They don't teach you to be famous.  They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor.  They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer.  They don't teach you how to know what else is going on in someone else's mind.  They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying.  They don't teach you anything worth knowing."  This quote by Neil Giaman tells us that in school, they don't teach us anything that will help us get through inportant situations in life.  The things we learn in school make it easier for us to get into college, get a job, and be successful.  However, they don't teach us how to take care of the things that make life more than just a job.  They don't teach us how to be good to people.  They don't teach us how to have a happy family.  We need to know how to read and write, but we don't need to spend ten years of our lives on it.  We need to take time and learn the other things, too.  They are they things worth knowing.
