Tara Westover’s memoir, Educated, is a text about her education, about her learning and navigating a world that is very different than the one in which she is raised as a child. When asked what “being educated” means to her, Westover says that education is “about making a life and making a person… the ability to see your life from another perspective.” In our first essay, I am asking you to think about all the texts we’ve read about this concept of education and analyze them in relation to your definition of the term.
