{{cquote|Wikipedia has been a driving factor for my online education throughout the better part of my life. It has always been a source for the most efficient collection of knowledge that spans the breadth of the entire human knowledge base. |
|||
Wikipedia introduced me to the ideas of Open Source software, and the idea of practicing Open frameworks in many areas of life. To me, Wikipedia is more than a big internet encyclopedia, it is a chance to unify the world in a pursuit of knowledge, to give the same opportunity to a child in Bangladesh as a child in Silicon Valley. |
|||
To me, this is the single most important thing that we can focus on as a species, education. Due to this, I am proudly a supporter of Wikipedia, and only hope I can continue to be a helpful contributor to it's continued success for the rest of my life.}} |

The classmates were nice to explain things to me, but you cannot bother them all the time. It was from Wikipedia I found all the information I need AND moreover, it was my help to adjust to the new life in the U.S. |
