How do you get to school each day? Perhaps your parents drive you, you walk a few blocks on solid concrete, or you take the air conditioned bus with leather seats and 100% protection against the elements. These are the normal means of transportation to school that make your life so much easier but are often taken for granted.

School is important all over the world, including areas where paved roads and public transportation do not exist. Children living in rural or poverty-ridden areas face a much more treacherous trek to school each morning, but somehow these inspirational kids get up the courage and strength to make the trip day after day.

What if it took you 5 hours to travel to school each way, would you be willing to make the trip? Children in Gula, China do it. And they are not the only students around the world willing to face a few risks in order to reap the rewards of an education.

Here we detail 20 of the most dangerous and unusual journeys students must take in order to make it to class on time.

Contrary to how it may appear, living day-by-day does not forestall you from seeing the long-term future and designing for it. It's merely managing paradox. You do not wish long-term designing to strangle your ability to adapt to reality - to what's happening right now or in the very near future. For instance, when my ring hit an obstacle, I would immediately react by changing my course."

  2. This is impossible in a physical journey since you just have one body. As a body you can be available just at one place in one time. Yet, with the soul you can be available to all spots in the meantime. A similarity may help clear up this on the off chance that you have ridden a plane.Used Tear Drops
