What exactly is education? This question might not even come across our minds even though we attend countless hours of school , tuition and enrichment programs. Education is not just all about school. In the old times, rich people did not attend school or stuff like that. They had this "teacher" called a mentor. A mentor would be assigned to a child and every time the child has a question on his mind e.g. he visits the park and sees a mangrove tree with aerial roots. Then he would ask his Mentor about the tree and his mentor would tell him its origins, which habitat it lives in, etc. Of course, not everyone back then could afford a mentor. Then they would have to go to school. Of course, education can be of educating the essence of the heart, mind and not always knowledge.
