Is education only learned in school?

Education comes in all forms, and academic education is only one. We are influenced more by our parents, peers, and surroundings than education. Of course, history and global events are inspiring, and may motivate a student to study certain subjects or enter specific fields, but we cannot deny the powerful effects of familial relations and social environments on our personalities and outlooks. Even with all the scholarly knowledge in the world, one may not be able to handle difficult social situations wisely.
School influences people in many different ways, such as academic knowledge, social activities, and other students’ stuff. However, the importance of schooling is outweighed by that of other experiences beyond school, like going to Africa to visit young patient suffering from AIDS, or wandering around the yard in the soft moonlight to gain inspiration of composing songs. How can you seek inspiration through the combination of love and nature can hardly be learned through professors’ lectures, but by using our hearts to feel and to appreciate.
Going to the place where people lead a strenuous life as well as experiencing the pain from diseases does help us realize that we should appreciate the happy life we are leading, and to what extent we are supposed to contribute ourselves to the society. I admire Lady Diana Frances Spencer, Princess of Wales, for her visit to Africa during which she shook hands with children who got AIDS and respect her for her ignorance of the royal contentment of her kindness towards the poor, she could have lived economically amply without such care of other arduous people; however, she pursued spiritual intactness which ties her heart to that of all. Since such pursuit of complete soul is rarely taught in school, we learn it from our daily like little by little.
How to live, which we accumulate from our own experiences outside school is no wonder more essential than make a living, which we are taught in
