"Education is not a marathon--not a sprint."-Anonymous

My interpretation of my quote is, the author is attempting to express the importance of a constant pace within your education and the effort and time consumption that are attributed with your educational efforts. I believe education is valuable aspect with in the life of an individual. The author compares education to a marathon because education requires a constant pace and continuous effort, compared to that of a sprint which does not require a constant pace and when you sprint you are exerting all of your effort upon a small track. During a marathon you must exert a continuous amount of energy and maintain a constant pace, a marathon consumes time but compared to a sprint you have achieved a tremendous goal with in you life, therefore education can truly be equated to a marathon. Suppose a child is sprinting once has reached the ending point he has exerted all of his energy and has achieved a meager amount of distance, compared to that of a marathon which requires continuous effort but also the individual must sustain energy and therefore he or she can achieve a much more ambitious goal.
