“Ultimately, education in its real sense is the pursuit of truth. It is an endless journey through knowledge and enlightenment.”
-Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
I truly adhere to the above mentioned axiom, which made me to realize and understand the importance of continuous learning and helped me in reaching greater heights. The inherent curiosity for the field of computers started, right from childhood when I was able to perceive that this magical machine possesses the potential to simplify the lives of people and empower them. Initially, to my mind, this machine is a huge calculator, in which the advanced calculations are performed, that cannot be done using normal calculator. This idea led me to initiate the learning about computers. Tally is the first software which proved me that I was wrong about this intelligent machine and it is capable of solving many complex problems that are plaguing in the society. My strong affinity towards latest technologies, subsequent industry experience and a strong-will to reinvent myself through my coding skills helped me to go beyond horizons. I believed a Master’s Program could be a solution for my never quenching quest for knowledge. Also, the four years worth experience in various application developments, boundless potential in programming and interest in coding industry drove me to make a commitment to embark a Master’s Program in Computer Science.
Serious interests evolved in me to learn more about science and computers when I was in
Education at its best is a process of teaching people to explore ideas about themselves and the world in which they live, to ask questions about the experience called “living” and to embrace ambiguity, to notice the unusual without fear and to look upon the ordinary with new eyes.
“Learning in the Key of Life” In “Learning in the Key of Life”, the author, Jon Spayde, makes arguments for an education centered on the humanities rather than what he describes education as “training for competitiveness”. (pg.47) He first poses the question “What does it mean to be educated?” This question, as Spayed explains, is about more than just education.
As soon as school started, I found myself fascinated. I loved going to school and learning new information every day from different seasons to studying the organs that make our bodies so special. I loved the idea of a quest to find explanations for the world around us. I loved the idea of how knowing certain information can help heal people, maybe to make one walk again, breathe again, even see for the first time. I grew to the rhythm of the Bangladesh rainstorms and as the droplets of water poured, my interest for how the world works
My passion really started in 3rd grade with the study of rocks. Over the years I have added on to that passion. I also found out about the different types of science, such as Forensic Science. Forensic Science caught my attention because it is applied in real life. From the fingerprint analysis to the crime scene and evidence examination it all caught my
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
The desire to discover never really left. I’ve always gone out of my way to learn something new. So it was to my disappointment when my middle school advisor in Geneva Switzerland told me that science and math were subjects I shouldn’t pursue. My high grades in Latin and German signified that I was more of a “languages person” and should therefore forgo a pursuit in stem fields and focus instead on classical languages and humanities. I countered their advice by shadowing a biologist who worked on altering genetics in mice. I found myself learning about anything I could despite the Swiss education system and my middle school advisor’s advice. When I transferred to Manhattan Center for Science and Math in New York City, I was encouraged to explore everything and anything. My first opportunity was the Advanced Science Research Program. After mere weeks of moving to a new country, my biology teacher encouraged me to apply. I never regretted the decision once. At the end of my sophomore year, some of my teachers suggested I take a few Advanced Placement courses during my junior year. I craved learning
This quote stood out to me because I found it interesting how even big influences in education still see it as profit. If the most influential people are for furthering one’s intelligence instead of for profit, then who is supporting the students? I also find this very hypocritical of the major figures.
In Martin Luther King Jr’s quote, he exposes that education teaches a person to think intensively and to think critically. One of the author’s main ideas is to tell people that education is able to make people intensively to what they do, because this is a way to make you success in college. On the another side, education is to teach one to think critically is mean that people have to learn what they mistake on, so they are able to change their mistake and become a better person. Education helps people to get the job they want, to desire and achieve their goal and make their own personal character. The real education goal is to encourage people to learn, and to use the knowledge in order to become an intelligence person, and to build their
“The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things” (Jean Piaget).
Upon publication, USAG Ansbach will execute its Performance Management Program in accordance with the provided timeline in Annex E. Performance Management will enable directors to review their current resources and delivery of services in order provide the garrison commander guidance on restructure, delivery of services or obligation of funds.
Yet even with these realizations that delve into the deeper meaning of education, modern education is still calling for simple measurable outcomes and continues to be geared towards specific employment ideas. This model of education is blatantly inadequate though. Many students today will end up holding jobs not yet invented in fields not yet discovered, so the teaching of answers to today’s questions is utterly useless. Albert Einstein once said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” and this statement reigns true throughout time. To continue academic success, the education system needs to impart a mastery of one’s own mind that allows students to not only answer current questions but also to pose questions that will shape the future world.
I have always been interested in science and the way things work. My interest in the medical field started by the time I was in kindergarten. However, I was interested in being a veterinarian at that point in my life. I loved and still do love animals, but changed to wanting to be a human nurse when I was in middle school. I would always go to appointments with my grandparents and parents when I was younger. Watching blood work being taken and the way a doctor would contort an MRI always sparked an interest in me.
Education is the very foundation in which we as individuals grow, and formulate the knowledge we gain through life into meaningful ways of adapting to the world.
“Truly there is an urgent need today of reforming the methods of instruction and education, and he who aims at such a renewal
As someone with extensive computer literacy, I understand the importance of being able to be efficient with the use of computers. Whether it is at school, or at the workplace, the struggles and inefficiency I see people have with computers results in a lot of wasted time and effort. The internet, and computers, play such a giant role in the day-to-day life of human beings that if computers were all wiped out tomorrow, humans would have a very difficult time in adapting to life afterwards. If you do not have the proper computer literacy in 2017, you are at a significant disadvantage to the rest of your peers. In this essay, I will highlight some of the causes of computer illiteracy, its effects on people’s
