Being Able to show the world who you are.

"Being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical life amid psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means having their legs off, and then being condemned for being a cripple." Where Do We Go From Here 1967.

 ~Education~ 

“I cannot but think that if we had more true wisdom in these respects, not only less education would be needed, because, forsooth, more would already have been acquired, but the pecuniary expense of getting an education would in a great measure vanish.”
-Walden, Economy, Henry. D. Thoreau

Through education we gain intelligence and wisdom, but Henry David Thoreau said that through experiencing different events people are able to truly understand and learn. In Economy the first chapter of Walden by Henry. D. Thoreau, in particularly the sub category "Education", the reader  is able to learn and understand what Thoreau was trying to explain about education and what his definition of it was.

“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
-Walden, Economy, Henry. D. Thoreau

It is believed in most people's minds that the only way to understand things are to live through them. For example when someone is talking about marriage, unless he has been married himself before than he cannot give you the knowledge of marriage and how to deal with it because he himself has never lived through it himself, or if you were picked on by an older sibling, an only child would never know the feeling because he has to siblings to bully or be bullied by.
