WHAT SEPARATES ONE PERSON FROM ANOTHER
Nelson Mandela, leader of the movement to end South African apartheid, was released from prison after 27 years on February 11, 1990.  Today marks that important anniversary.
 

Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farmworkers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.
