The Phoenix is the mythical sacred fire bird from Arabian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian and Phoenician/Canaanite mythologies. It is described as a bird with colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet. It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young Phoenix arises, reborn anew of trials and fire, to live again. Legend says that the bird's cry is that of a beautiful song. The Phoenix's ability to be reborn from its own ashes implies that it is immortal, much like education itself.
Just like the Phoenix, we rise from the ashes of our former selves, equipped with life long learning skills, passing along our knowledge through our song-cry.
