Education Verve 

There is much that you can learn that is not part of a class in school or college. Education can be achieved without getting a degree. A lot of a person's education involves self-education, especially as an adult when he or she has completed school. People who are self-educated have acquired knowledge or a skill by themselves, rather than it being taught by someone else such as a teacher at school. Self-education is a life-long learning process that a person directs on their own. It is often based on one's own chosen interests. Self-education is the act of taking your learning into your control. It is your choice to further yourself. Everyone can benefit from continuing to strive for self-education. The drive and motivation to further one’s knowledge and skill set is important for success. Self-education can be as easy as reading an extra book on a new subject or learning about something on the internet your own.

​
