Real education ..
I got to talk to Tassnym a little this morning with everyone asleep lol.. it was kinda funny couse I had the speakers so so so so so low so no one would wake up and I was whispering.. anyways, she’s been going through a lot of “tough” situations ever since she went to saudia. A lot of deaths and sicknesses and responsibility that she wasn’t used to. Tassnyms always been a studying type person but other than that shes kinda like ermm spoiled? Not spoiled but like naive about things kinda.. actually I don’t know what the right word is.. anyway..
One thing me and Tassnym would never agree on was education. She was always like you gotta study get good grades blah blah. And I would tell her ya that’s all good but the true education is what you get out of school, its what makes you know how to live life. We got into a few fights and stuff about it, but at the end we were like whatever we each got our own opinion no big deal..
So today we were talking and she goes ”Maryam you know a child that goes to school but doesn’t experience things out of it wont learn anything”and I was just like “ya that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you all this time”. And she was like “ya but you have to actually live it to understand, even though everyone is in school now and I’m not, I don’t feel like I’m not learning. Actually I feel I’m learning more than I would if I was in school. Wallah all that’s been happening this past month or so, its taught me so much.”
I was just like subhanAllah.. in a way I was surprised that Tassnym would ever say that, but I guess she finally felt it.. but its true the experiences that one gains from situations in life you could never learn it in years of school.. and ya I was happy Tassnym finally agreed with me.
