Scientia potentia est – “knowledge is power.”

We have a saying in our home that if you’re not actively trying to learn new things, you’re falling behind. In fact, all six members of our household are engaging in some sort of educational endeavor: I’m teaching a journalism course at the local university, my engineer husband is working toward his computer programming degree, my stepdaughter attends the local community college, my stepson is taking free courses on Udemy.com, and my 12-year-old son is... well, he’s 12. He researches the Revolutionary War for fun, though.
