This is the part of a series called Presidential Free Association. I post the first word that comes to mind when I hear the name of the president, along with a brief explanation.
Education
Millard Fillmore was apprenticed to a clothmaker at the age of fourteen. Five years later, he started attending school to improve on his frontier education. At nineteen, he sold his apprenticeship and joined a law office as a clerk, beginning his path to the presidency. If not for Fillmore's determination and desire for education, our thirteenth president could have wound up a clothmaker instead.
