A Homemade Education

The term homemade is a word that often gets both positive and negative opinions.
In my opinion,  homemade items are more valuable. Homemade items are more valuable. It contains more sentimental value coming from a family member or family friend. For example, if a family member made something especially for you, you are more likely to cherish it than if you would have just picked it up from the store. With that being said, not everyone shares my opinion. In opposition, multiple people value store bought items over homemade items. Such individuals claim that items such as food is better, because it is done by professionals in factories, or the name brand is better. Because of these opinion, some people take homemade items less seriously. Although such claims lead to assumptions that a homemade education can not get you as far as if you were sent for schooling.  I disagree with this statement. My grand-father was born one of eighteen children, so schooling was not an option  for their family. Even though, they weren't sent to school, the children were educated at home and they successfully made something with their lives. Five of the nine brother are currently employed at a mechanic shop owned by an elder brother.

Malcom X is a man that believed you should not to be forced to learn something you disagree with. That is why he believed that freedom can be demonstrated by homemade education. People should be able to learn under their own conditions. Meaning, learning should be about what YOU want. it. In comparison to bell hook's quote, Malcom X has a similar view because they both believe that everyone deserves freedom of education. In contrast, the bell hook's quote mentions something about being in a classroom. Malcom X doesn't believe you must be in a classroom to get an education.

If I happen to be locked in a cell such as Malcom X, I would most likely pursue the subject of English. Pursuing English would allow me to not only learn the United States' dominant language, but also to learn a subject that would allow me to express myself. If I was able to successfully learn the language I would attempt to become a journalist.
