"My Definition of an Educated Person"

My definition of an educated person is not someone who has went to high school and earned a high school diploma, or a math or science teacher. And educated person is not rich, black, or white. My definition of an educated person is someone who always strives to learn more. An educated person is a person that is not proud of the information that they already know, they are proud of what they have accomplished, by taking what they know to get something done that makes a difference in their life. An educated person is not afraid to ask questions when they need help on something. They are not afraid to learn more. They are always focused on the job that they have to do. And they are constantly taking courses, or doing something that will challenge their intellect.
An educated person will try to achieve everything that they have to achieve, to make it to where they want to be. Even though, they do listen to everyone’s opinions, and they take them in, and decide what is best for them. When they talk about something, they always know what they are talking about. When they are addressing a certain subject to another person, or a group of people, they always have their information straight. They can back up what they say, and explain what they want. They will take meaningful experiences in their life, and learn from the experiences.
To be educated is an honor in so many ways. There are a lot of people out here that are very ignorant and they do not want to get an education. And on the other hand, there are a lot of people that would love to get an education, and they will like to better themselves, but they can’t, because they don’t have the money or the proper materials to get what they need. And that is my definition of an educated person.
