Outside of school I gain knowledge by surrounding myself with books and poetry. My room is like my chamber of knowledge, I have a library of books ranging from mysteries, biographies, collections of poems, etc. I gain knowledge by enduring each book and what it has to offer. Continuous acquisition of knowledge is important because our earth is changing daily varying from technology, science, our society etc. If we stop acquiring knowledge we would simply become like an outdated book, useless.
