The Importance Of Education

Getting an education is considered a blessing too many, in America many of us believe that everybody should get equality when it comes down to education, but is that really the case? I believe that education is something that many of us take advantage of, especially when you are a kid and you think your education is free and you dread waking up early in the morning for school. Though, when you grow older we are glad that we have received an education and we can contribute to new technology, or we have the opportunity to create a top selling novel, learn about the history of the world, or just knowing why the sky is blue. We all know, and if you don’t you

"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today" (Richardson 382). One of the most amazing things people have dreamt to obtain is the “American Dream”. It is so profound in all the things it can symbolize. It is freedom, justice, but most of all, it is a hope for a better way of life. The immigrants who made the long and dangerous voyage to America wanted their children to have experiences that they never got to experience, one of those things being to have an education. Education has been so important and cherished for many years now. Without it, usually meant a mediocre job was imminent. Without it, people will not be using their full potential. Without it, the American Dream is not

Education has always been very important to me and my family. A couple months ago I started to read a book called “ I Am Malala” which talked about the importance of education. While reading this book I realized how lucky I am to be able to go to school everyday and learn something new as well. While reading this book it also made my jaw drop because I found out that there were people who were actually killing people and kids over education. Everyone should be able to

The belief that an education is valuable when it is used to serve your community was instilled in me at a very young age. Growing up in a small village in Nigeria, West Africa, I was surrounded by an African culture with a rural rustic lifestyle. I saw poverty, sickness, death and suffering on a daily basis. I learned to build deep relationships with people of all age groups; from kids who were my playmates, to moms whose babies I helped care for, and grandmas cooking over firewood or selling in market stalls. I learned to value and treat all people with respect, appreciate them, and to always take the time to help others.

When people learn that an education can give oneself freedom, power, and knowledge oneself can conquer any problem that comes its way. It is oneself responsibility to take advantage of its free education that I and everyone is given here in the United States. It seems people that are restricted from receiving an education are the ones that are determined to do whatever it takes to get an education so oneself can improve one’s life.

As a young child, I learned that education would be beneficial to not only myself but also all humankind. Growing up in a Northeast Florida housing project my father and mother did the best they could to raise nine children. My father worked seven days a week in the service industry as a waiter and bartender while my mother worked as a domestic employee in the homes of more affluent people in the south. My father had an eleventh grade education and my mother had not passed the tenth grade before she bore her first child. Neither parent completed high school but they had dreams of their children far exceeding their educational accomplishments. I was child eight of the nine and I knew early on that I did not want to live

Education opens your mind to the world around you. It gives you knowledge about how things actually work and help you find a job that will support you and your future. A proper education reduces poverty, boosts economic growth, increases income and promote peace according to the Global Partnership for Education. Sadly, only 77% of students graduate from high school and 24 other countries beat the U.S Rate of Educational Improvement according to Harvard’s Program on Educational Policy and Governance. While students are overly focused on extracurricular activities like sports, they aren’t learning enough to succeed to their full

Education throughout the world is viewed as a privilege. It’s a chance for individuals to expand their knowledge. It helps create a successful path for the social and economical structures of a society. Or at least, that's the idea. People like Horace Mann argue that education is ,“the great equalizer of the conditions of men,” making education sound essential and liberating.

Growing up in the United States I never felt education was necessarily as gift but something that was important and needed to be done. Now, after reading Creating Room to Read, I am Malala, reading articles, and watching the videos we have in this class that it is a gift to be able to receive an education without fear. With education a person could reach incredible heights to change the world. Education also protects people from those who would try to persuade people of things that may not be true. A quote for Creating Room to Read has stuck with me since I first read it about education. In Creating Room to Read Mr. Pasupathi Neupane tells Wood, “You will see that in Nepal, we are too poor to afford education. But until we have education, we will always be poor.” (Wood 37) This quote perfectly sums up a situation that is all over the world. We see it in the United States, families with hardly any children completing high school let alone attending college. From personal experience and what I have learned in this class I believe education is the key to becoming more aware, as well as, expanding my

In America kids get the opportunity to get a free education but not anyone takes advantage of this opportunity. In countries like Iraq not a lot of kids get the opportunity to get an education. In countries like these only boys are allowed to get an education while girls are forced to stay home not to step foot into a school or get the right to learn and expand their minds. While kids might complain about school or don’t want to go they should think of the children not being able to learn at all. I know that I want to be very successful and so do a lot of kids but education can be beneficial in many ways. Education can save children’s lives, increase income, and reduces poverty.

When I think of education, I think of how great it is and how far it can take us. Education is just as important as history. You know how they say if you don’t know your history you don’t know where you come from? Well, same goes for education, if you don’t have education you can’t go very far in life. These days, if you don’t have a college education it’s hard to find a good paying job because just having a high school diploma or a GED isn’t enough.

Education is key in most of our lives. It strengthens our brains, and allows us to get foundations for well paying jobs. But not everyone is provided with an equal chance of achieving this. In poor countries, a high percentage of people are illiterate, or have never gone to school, girls especially. But now, more and more people are going to school. There are good schools and bad schools, students who struggle and students who excel. Though it takes a lot of work to excel, and these children prove that excellence can be just around the corner, no matter your circumstances.

To many, education is an opportunity; to me, education liberate people from stupidity, oppression and poverty.

Education can be defined as the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or University. For many education is seen as an enlightening experience and one they can grow from. For others it is seen as a necessity or something they are obligated to have. It can be seen as It has always been stated that a nation’s brilliance and ability to prosper is directly dependent upon its people’s educations. Without someone continuing to open one’s mind and allowing oneself to be taught can cause a person to be ignorant and frozen in time. The study of several civilizations throughout history has revealed the importance of education as it applies to society including its economic growth. America prominently values

I strongly believe everyone deserves an education. After all we all have the human right to an education regardless of the issue we are facing. I've had to overcome obstacles that have shape d who I am today. My culture has influenced me so greatly in how I wish to go about my education and what it means to me.
