For example biology and science, and science in general, we learn it three times '; Text[2]=' our education. In elementary school when we are '; Text[3]=' it\'s simple. You take the same subject again in high school and it gets '; Text[4]=' deeper and more detailed. When you get into college it\'s even further detailed and and you have to know '; Text[5]=' more and to perform much better. Now, I went back to college '; Text[6]=' of forty something, I don\'t remember exactly: forty-four, I think. And I had four children. One was out of '; Text[7]=' house married, one was away at '; Text[8]=' and I had the two little ones at home; they '; Text[9]=' about six and seven, seven and eight. And '; Text[10]=' many times they would have school holidays when I didn\'t have a holiday. Colleges don\'t give you many holidays - you just take '; Text[11]=' and then you get in '; Text[12]='. But '; Text[13]=' they were at home and I had to go to school I took them with me. And they '; Text[14]=' part in the classroom. One in particular - my little girl: must\'ve '; Text[15]=' about six, I guess, maybe seven.
Once we were in a music class, and before that she '; Text[16]=' my music homework with me; we were supposed to write a simple song to teach elementary school children; and she '; Text[17]=' with me and wrote the song, also '; Text[18]=' she was familiar with the piano as I was, and we had my homework '; Text[19]='. And I didn\'t know she brought it with her when I took her to college. Now the teacher wanted every student to get up and play '; Text[20]=' song. And he was desperate for help, didn\'t know what to do to make '; Text[21]=' sing, and students were afraid to get up in their own classroom and play their songs. '; Text[22]=' he puts on an act saying he '; Text[23]=' to cry if noone played; but she couldn\'t bear to see him '; Text[24]=', so she said: "don\'t cry, I\'ll do it, I\'ll play for you". And she got up and she played her song. And he was very anxious then '; Text[25]=' to take her to a music teacher immediately for proper lessons, she should have started when she was five '; Text[26]=' old, she should\'ve started before. And she got piano lessons for a long time and almost used it as a career - but you never get rich '; Text[27]=' playing the piano here. So that was the end of the story.
Other things '; Text[28]=' we did were like this. I took them many times. I\'ve pictures with them on campus. A lot of the students knew them, the teachers knew them.
And my children decided to do what '; Text[29]=' and and went to college a lot longer '; Text[30]=' I did. They\'re both doctors now.
