Even though we come to school to get an education by our own free will or by our parents making us get out of the bed and dragging us here every day, we have learned so much about other facets of life outside of our classes.

Life is about taking risks and making mistakes so we can learn from them even if they have a negative effect.

The peregrine gives the orders and keeps the other birds in line. “The great peregrine falcon had bestirred herself and now said... “Gentlemen, you may converse” ” (White 78).

They help people learn through tough times or teach them how to avoid terrible situations. Lessons can be passed down from adults to their children, or other important people in their lives.
