Good education is available for anyone in the world!
When I was little, I was always the lazy kid. Not interested in school, I was joking all day long and teachers would always say I wasn't taking anything seriously and would definitely get into trouble with this attitude in the future. My parents - who are both very hard workers and trying to get me a good education - were afraid I would end up a bum who did not like to learn or to work.
But they couldn't say anything about it, because I got "okay" grades and never failed. Back in the head I knew it. I actually LOVE to learn, just not when someone expects me to and I need my own space to know my interests and dive deeper into them. When I knew this, I started learning things on my own after school, but only when nobody was home. I could study any subject, just not the ones we were supposed to learn in school.
When I graduated and started working, I still couldn't stop myself from wanting to learn. Now I want to share a secret with you guys. With everyone on the whole wide world.
I'm addicted to learning.
I am currently following a study which is being lectured by MIT (Massachusetts). 2 Months ago I followed a course from Harvard, and before that I got lectured by Technical University Delft (The Netherlands).
If you're interested, I'm currently studying the course "Managing Disruptive Change". If you want to do this with me, join up and we can even do the homework together!

This is all made possible by EDX University, you can check them out here https://www.edx.org/
Their slogan is:
"Barriers broken. Lifes changed."
Now this is what I love. Education and the power of knowledge and learning should be available to anyone, anywhere in the world. Yes, I am a white man. Yes, on this matter you could say white men have always been privileged. Well, it's starting to turn around and I am trying to help them reach even more people.
When you sign up for a course, you can choose if you want to do it for free, or pay for it (this includes an additional certificate). I always choose to pay for it, because I can and it helps them out to help out other people who cannot afford it.
If you love learning, sign up and learn.
If you love learning and can afford it, sign up, learn and pay contribution.
If you love the concept, resteem or share the link to make this possible to people around you!
