"Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom" -George Washington Carver. This quote means to me that one way to be successful in life is to get a good education. If you don't have education, you don't know what is wrong or right. You only base it on what others tell you. With education, you can have think for yourself. Education is power. It allows you to be respected for your intelligence and you are enlightened. If you have education, you can free yourself from bondage. For example, in countries like Egypt and Libya, as people were more educated and exposed  they realized they had more right than the government gave them. So as a result, of them realizing their suppression they started protesting which in turn gave them freedom from their bondages.With education, you can achieve your dreams.

 Last week, we dissected a  frog! The most memorable thing was the smell in the classroom. When I walked in side, I was about to say "What died in here" but I saw the frogs and thought better of it.  My group  got a boy frog to dissect  but we still got too see the eggs. The frog had a liquid (which I later learned was preservatives) that kept on spilling out. The fat bodies were yellow and noodle-like, which was pretty cool to me but no one else in my group seemed to care. After removing the fat bodies, we saw the frog's organs, or what was left of them. You see, my group mates decided to cut open  the frog in a completely rubbish manner. So some of the organs, like the liver , were damaged. The gallbladder was alright but it stained the liver green.                                                                                                           I liked dissecting the frog and I can't wait to dissect more things later on!
