2. Educations

2. "Educations" - The Mock Turtle has received quite a lot of ‘educations’ under the sea like the different branches of Arithmetic - Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Share with us a most unique branch of education entirely from your imagination. (<500 words)

I’ve been granted a diploma in the School of Hard Knocks. This diploma recognizes life work. There is no coursework, no classroom. All learning is done remotely.

Once a year we meet with our instructor. Professor Howard T. B. Donebetter instructs us in life lessons. We all recognize the lessons that life has taught us.

I recently wrote a paper that Professor Donebetter commented was one of the best he’d read in many years. In this paper, I outlined my journey from single mother to corporate giant. I now own a company that sells left-handed widgets.

Left-handed widgets are in high demand. The shortage is real. When was the last time you went looking for something in your junk drawer and realized what you needed was that geegaw. And it was actually a left-handed widget.

Life is good for this widget seller.
