Conversation with Paul

The learning you gain from being immersed in the community is something so different from sitting in a classroom.

Being there and experiencing it firsthand can make such a difference.

You can't teach that in the classroom; you literally can't just sit down and tell somebody about it. It has to be there, that is what makes such a difference in our education.
