THE SONS REPLIES
EDUCATION is not only confined to the four
corners of a classroom. Life experience and
example too are schools themselves. Our
father even while we were still children,
would allow us to listen while he discussed
with clients-poor people mostly who barely
got by in life, who were oppressed and whom
he defended pro bono. That was
instrumental in molding us to have the
heart and drive to serve people.
