Personal Statement For Girl Child Education

Education is one of the most important contributors to having a successful future. In developed countries such as North America boys and girls are fortunate enough to have access to an unbiased education system. Therefore, allowing children to have countless opportunities. However, in countries like Afghanistan girls are marginalized and neglected the right to learn. Afghanistan is a country of war, where women and girls are often the worst victims. In 2011, Afghanistan was known as the most dangerous place in the world for a girl to be born (Kissane). Malala Yousufzai, a female education activist was also a victim of war. Yousufazi was shot in the head and neck for advocating for girls and their rights to have access to education. Similarly, to Yousufzai many women in Afghanistan stand up for their entitlement to having equality. Those courageous women often become victims of abuse and are often killed. Investing in girls’ education is critical, not only is it life-altering for a girl’s future, but it’s also poses benefits to society. By allowing Afghan girls access to educating we are also promoting better socioeconomic s, a reduction in child marriages, and an improvement in mortality rates.

“One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world,” a famous quote said by Malala, an activist for education. This quote inspires every one to understand the importance of education and to stand up for it. This world has a lot of children and adults that do not have education due to money and the limits of rights they have. In Malala’s country and many other places in the world, education for boys is not an issue, but for the girls it is. Due to gender, females do not have the right of education, like the males. Malala had a passion for school, making this issue upsetting to her. This is going to be a journey about not just what is happening with Malala’s country, but what is happening around the world. Malala inspires the world from her background story, her obstacles and achievements and her overwhelming support from the world.

“A girl on planet earth has a one in four chance of being born into poverty.” (Martin Ravalion and Shaohua Chen) Girls who are born into poverty are less likely to go to school, but they can rise above that and go to school if they had the opportunity. They don’t have the opportunity due to many reasons whether the family can’t afford it so they send their son, or they are not allowed to be educated. The enrollment gap between boys and girls who are enrolled in school is abound. Many intrepid people including Malala Yousafzai and Suma are working to get girls an education and/or out of poverty. If girls had the chance to be educated they would make a big impact on their countries by playing a role in the economy, reduce the amount of girls

According to Madeline Kennedy- Macfoy’s article “Standing up for Girl’s Education on Malala Day,” organizations such as the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Government of Pakistan hold many events to recognize the importance of education all around the world; yet women and girls in Afghanistan and other areas in the world still receive the least amount of education. According to “Education: A Human Right For Girls” by Michele Clark and Larisa Warhol, one hundred twenty-three million people still lack basic reading and writing skills and girls comprise sixty-one percent of that number. Girls get primary education, but when it comes to shaping their future, the secondary or higher levels are no longer available (Clark and Warhol 8). Even girls in primary school in countries all over Africa “have less than a 50% chance of completing primary school” (GCE 6). In 2009, primary school attendance in Pakistan “was only 66 percent” (Clark and Warhol 7). Global Campaign for Education states “…two thirds of the world’s 796 million non-literate adults are women…” (GCE 7). In Pakistan, “four in ten women over the age of fifteen can read and write, compared to 70% of men” (GCE

Education is ultimately the key, the door, and the way to not only fulfill one’s dreams but also to empower and help others attain success. It promises knowledge and opportunities, and breaks the walls that hinder the socially and culturally disadvantaged from advancing in society. Therefore, I value education as I hope to be successful someday and repay my parents’ hardwork and sacrifices to provide me a comfortable life. But most of all, I hope to offer the knowledge and learning experiences I obtained from my secondary education and will obtain from higher education to those in underserved and impoverished communities. I essentially plan to help sick people, reach out to third-world countries, educate kids, and give hope and inspiration

Throughout history it is seen that as our society has grown, there has been a great deal of emphasis placed on education. Once people are better educated, one tends to succeed more efficiently at our goals and gain a better understanding of the earth’s environment and ecosystems. However, depending on who a person’s background, he/she may be denied the opportunities to learn and experience the life they are given. That is the case for many bright and capable young women around the world who are declined their opportunity of education due to narrow minded thinking. The lack of education for girls is a serious problem that needs to be addressed with better solutions such as creating more awareness, fundraising, and supporting girls to fight for their education; needless to say, these solutions must be implemented to help decrease the drastic numbers of uneducated girls around the world.

I am a dreamer, a motivated student and future employee. I love to travel around the world to learn about various populations, their cultures and struggles. I want be a part of future developments that will help improve people's lives. I love to learn and share ideas with other great thinkers. As I am finishing my bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, I finally reached a milestone in my life where I have options; and those options are in the form of opportunities.

Just like many children not getting enough food around the world, there are too many children around the world in need of an education. There are many success stories of which education has played a role in a child’s life, such as the girls of Room to Read’s education program for rural, underprivileged children and the results of Malala Yousafzai’s stand for education against the Taliban. Many children need the education to become more “job appropriate” (having the skills and knowledge necessary for getting a job); many are preoccupied with other things such as fear and inferior jobs. Not only that but education, especially investing in it, has a socioeconomic benefits loop. Investing in education for children in underprivileged areas is important

I am educated in the field of Criminal Justice and Early childhood. I am currently working towards an AA degree in early childhood Education at Central Piedmont Community College. I have been employed in both Criminal Justice and Early Childhood field. However, I find the field of Early Childhood more rewarding. I am a member of the Early Childhood Club at Central Piedmont Community College. I have a credential award for Early Childhood Administration; 5/13/14, and is certified in both CPR and First Aid. I am most interest in working with special needs children. The reasons I ‘ve chosen to work with special needs children are I have the experience, patience, observation skills and a strong desire to make a different in the children lives.

“When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous.”(Michelle Obama). Education is a cital practice which has shaped history for hundreds of years and is the main reason for countries to develop and progress as humanity to occur. Even though many of us share this same idea and want most of the world's children are currently being educated but many womens and girls are not still being educated. Mainly because of religious and traditional reasons or because there families aren't in a a good financial shape to educate them. All of this can stop by educating girls also educating girls brings GDP and economic growth and better educate generations in the future.

The work that they do and the foundations they provide for women, not only alter the lives of the women but also the community as a whole. Educating the women and young girls, opens up new opportunities for them within the job market to earn money. Since the women would be earning an income, they would be able to sustain their families and buy necessities, overall helping the communities’ economy. Even providing the necessary medical care and education on reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS makes an impact on the community, which will continue on for future generations. All the work done by the organization will sustain into the future and continue to help the rural communities of Cameroon. Education offers hope to the women and young girls for a brighter future. In addition, by the organization providing the necessary medical care needed, it gives them hope for a longer life as well as gaining the knowledge to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS to the next generation. Lastly, by striving to have women in a position on the male-dominated council, the voices of women will be

“Why am I here?” In May, this past year, I was offered a Teaching position at our local Head Start. I was hired contingent on returning to school to obtain my Bachelor’s Degree in the field of my choice (Human Development), but related to Early Childhood Education. It has always been a personal goal of mine to teach a class of my own. Having a job already secured, returning to school seemed to be an added bonus in allowing me to further my career therefor has become my prime motivation.

Malala Yousafzai said, “Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.” Yousafzai is one of the many people who have used their influence to change lives. Her strength and courage have left me inspired, and I hope that one day I can be as influential in someone’s life. I cannot think of a better way to prepare myself for such a task than college. I am excited to start a new chapter in my life, and I cannot wait to see what Eastern Michigan University has in store for me. I plan on making the most of my college experience at Eastern Michigan University through taking risks, personal growth, and gaining skills and strategies.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude May 9, 2015 from Brescia University with a Bachelor’s of Science, majoring in Elementary Education P-5.
