Unit 1 Education: A Transformation of the Soul1On my first day of high school, my teacher showed the class a Power Point presentation entitled [?nta?tld]The Value of Education. The first slide read simply this: “Education = [?i:kw?l] $”. I felt uncomfortable, not knowing exactly [?g?z?ktli] why. 2 Education, throughout my high school experience, continued to be described [d?skra?bd to me like this: college means a diploma [d??pl??m?].
