Wisdom is more than knowledge. It's knowledge coupled with proper judgment, which generally comes with life experiences. We often consider grandparents as wise, because they seem to know all the tricks to getting something done right. Grandparents have lived for such a long time that they have learned what to do and what not to do through their copious experiences. They are so capable of taking in so much information and coming up with the right answer. This is not knowledge; this is wisdom.
Here is what the Bible has to say about wisdom in Proverbs 3:13-16.
13 Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
I am not pretending to be a Biblical scholar, but let me sum this up. Wisdom is more precious than any other riches a person could think of.
In my opinion, wisdom keeps you alive and helps you make good choices in life.
With that said, go and do your best in school. Take from your teachers all the knowledge that they have to give, because without knowledge, you can't have wisdom. And wisdom is the key to many of life's great riches.
