  • Romanian artist Theo Rose says she paid less attention to studying in high school and later returned to reading during university.
  • She argues that education shapes how people think, speak and present themselves, not just their grades.
  • Rose urges young people, especially girls, to read and build knowledge before they need it.

Theo Rose says she learned the value of school and reading only after neglecting both during part of her adolescence. In a message to young people, the Romanian artist says knowledge built early can later shape how they communicate and express themselves.

School is worth it. Believe me. Middle school helped me the most. The foundation, the community, that natural competition among children: who finishes first, who writes more neatly, who knows the answer.

· Theo RoseShe recalled why she believes middle school gave her a valuable foundation.

Rose recalls that middle school served her best because it gave her a foundation and exposed her to natural competition among children. "School is worth it. Believe me. Middle school helped me the most. The foundation, the community, that natural competition among children: who finishes first, who writes more neatly, who knows the answer," she wrote.

She says she paid less attention to studying in high school because she believed she was prepared enough. During university, she returned to reading after a comment about her vocabulary hurt her pride. That experience, she says, showed her how much education can influence a person, even when they already have talent, beauty or charisma.

Thatโ€™s why it bothers me when I see a talented, beautiful, charismatic girl who doesnโ€™t know how to speak. I donโ€™t judge her. I feel sorry, because I know how much it can limit her.

· Theo RoseShe explained why she connects education and reading with a personโ€™s ability to express herself.

Rose said, "Thatโ€™s why it bothers me when I see a talented, beautiful, charismatic girl who doesnโ€™t know how to speak. I donโ€™t judge her. I feel sorry, because I know how much it can limit her." She urged young women to use the years when they can accumulate knowledge: "So study, girl. Read. Build it up. Youโ€™ll need it precisely when you least expect it."

So study, girl. Read. Build it up. Youโ€™ll need it precisely when you least expect it.

· Theo RoseShe urged young women not to neglect learning and reading.

She also said school matters beyond marks. Drawing on her experience with The Voice of Romania, Rose wrote that audiences consider more than a contestantโ€™s singing voice. "Even on The Voice of Romania, I saw that the audience doesnโ€™t vote only for the voice. The person matters too, how they think, how they speak, how they present themselves."

· Theo RoseShe used the television competition to illustrate that audiences assess more than vocal talent.
