I am sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Blessings on you and your family.
Love this piece!
I attended 17 public schools, graduated barely, attended trade school for a dying profession.
My education offered me the possibility that learning had less to do with content than relationship: many times I've found myself learning something not because I liked the thing, but because I resonated with the teacher.
I don't feel bound by a degree or lack of one, though at times have begrudged the loneliness of my path.
Thanks for your kind words, Sean, and for sharing some of your journey. I think you're right that relationship is at the heart of learning. Good teachers open up whole new worlds we weren't able to previously imagine.
