My Education

Looking back on my education through out the two years I have been in college I have noticed some major changes. The more classes I take and the more studying I do, I have a acquired more knowledge, but its what I have done with that knowledge that has affected me the most. Especially since coming to UT my opinion on a lot of things has changed. I feel like my eyes have been opened to the "real world" since I'm not attached to mommy and daddy anymore and I have also gained a new confidence in my opinions. The only problem with that is sometimes I tend to forget that I am not always right. It's as if ever since I came to college and acquired this new found education I feel like a know so much!! But in reality I have only hit the tip of the iceberg on what i have to learn. So my question is: Does education make you cocky? Or confident? Because I know that there are many other people out there that far exceed my intelligence level, so why do I feel superior sometimes? Is that because of my education? I can't help but wonder if somehow our education is giving us only part of the information and we are just left without luck to find the other half. Or are we like Gandhi, where the rest of our education does not come from a school, it has to be experienced. I just thought it was interesting to think about.
