             You are the driver about to embark on a journey.
             How do you ensure that you get to your destination?

             1. Choose a reliable vehicle.

             2. Consult a map or GPS and plan your route.

             3.  Navigate the terrain, whether it is smooth or bumpy, and steer.

             4.  Pay attention to the directional signs and guideposts to keep on track.

















                    Education works the same way.
