Book #71 - Educated

Educated by Tara Westover

On the one hand I am annoyed because she does not OWN her education - it is her parents'
fault, her professor's fault - she is not learning, not understanding.
On the other hand I am amazed that she is able to overcome such abuse to be
able to learn at all.

"I could only imagine the school as I was experiencing it now, as a kind of museum,
a relic from someone else's life." (P. 276)

"I had a thousand dollars in my bank account.  It felt strange just to think that, let alone say it.  A thousand dollars.  Extra.  That I did not immediately need.  It took weeks for me to come to terms with this fact, but as I did, I began to experience the most powerful advantage of money: the ability to think of things besides money." (P. 207)
