Knowledge

I think knowledge is the foundation to almost everything, from meeting new friends to trying to figure out how things work. Knowledge is one of the most important things you can possess, because when you know something, you are not ignorant towards it. You know background or what is going on that not everyone sees. Outside of school, I gain knowledge by talking to others, social media, or simply reading books when you aren't obligated to read them. You gain knowledge through almost everything you do, even through your mistakes. I think that is the best way to gain knowledge, by learning from your mistakes because you personally figure it out and can know for a fact what to do and what not to do. You need to be gaining knowledge all the time because you might know something about a specific thing but they always keep changing as time passes by. Things evolve and get more complicated than they were when you gained that knowledge so you have to keep up-to-date to know the new things you didn't know before.
