The Importance Of Education

From the time when I was a little boy, growing up in Graves County, Kentucky, I have had problems with my reading and writing. Things never seemed to click for me, a trait that the teachers attributed to a mild case of dyslexia mixed with a healthy dose of attention deficit disorder. I knew, however, that no disorder was the cause of my distaste of reading and writing. Rather, there was nothing really interesting surrounding me that would grab my interest in the classroom. The teachers I encountered never took any interest in what their students wanted to read or write; they developed assignments based on what the curriculum, a course of study developed by some politicians at the Board of Education, told them to

I had trouble reading and writing my whole elementary career. I would get my alphabet mixed around and my letters backwards. Reading as child I would often get frustrated and stop trying, because I didn’t understand what reading and writing would mean to me as I got older. I began taking incentive and would read to myself and write my letters as times as it took to learn them. Their where many authors and people who helped me get to where I am now with my reading and writing. In this short-essay I will be discussing my writing and reading experiences.

Growing up I was one of the many people who struggled learning how to read and write and was considered behind when compared to my fellow peers. Through this essay I will be covering what my personal experiences leaning how to read and write through elementary, middle, high school, college and also the effects it had on my self-confidence as a writer.

In my childhood I was not taught the fundamentals of proper writing. Nor was it influenced in my household to dedicate time for writing. My father owned his own business, therefore, I always saw him writing inventory and receipts. As for my mother, I can recall her writing down messages from phone calls. At school I found little to no growth in my writing. When I did face a task that required legible writing I would seek help from my friend Sandra. This class is by far the first English course I have taken were I could truly say lectures are broken down enough for me to develop satisfactory growth. I am still a developing writer, but I have made a lot of progress because of influences of my own desire to learn, Professor Anna C. Morrison, and

Since the first time I picked up a pencil and a piece of paper I have been taught how things ought to be done. Dot your i’s and cross your t’s, check your spelling, and do not forget the period at the end of each of your sentences. Writing shows you understand how to fit together facts and bits of information, but when does the real test of knowledge finally come into play? Your writing must express you, while still managing to cover all the appropriate content. All those years ago I wish I would have had someone to teach me that writing could be enjoyable; but for me, it is just another task that must be completed (and a difficult task at that). Writing has always been challenging; a job in other words, which takes time to learn, and despite its best efforts, has attempted to push me to grow.

Like many people around the world, I have had many academic challenges throughout my 12 years of public schooling. In math, I don’t know how to add and subtract simple fractions from one another, then in science I struggle learning the basic concept of Chemistry. But one of the hardest academic struggles that I’ve had was when I was in 3rd to 8th grade when I wasn’t able to read as well as other students.

The years of elementary planted the seed for reading and writing in me. Elementary school were the years to remember. Running around the playground not stressing out over school. Coming home and playing around. Elementary School, for many kids, was fun. From running around playing games in gym class to doing crafts in Art Smart to sitting down and listening to Mrs. Konopinski read to us in the library. Most people don’t recognize the vital skills that elementary school gave to us. It started as a seed in kindergarten and every year after the plant started to grow. This plant shows the growth in our writing and reading over the years. All of my teachers helped me become the reader and writer I am today. Each teacher helped with a little component

As a child, I remember my first writing experience outside the classroom. For it would teach me more than just putting words together to complete a sentence, but to incorporate the meaning. Entering my third year of elementary school I encountered the sweetest teacher, Ms. Cologne; she was kind, caring and always amiable. She was black with dark straight hair and wore thick framed plastic glasses. Her classroom was bright, full of colors with the ABC’s in cursive writing around the border. Ms. Cologne was the type of english teacher that will take extra time out to help each student with their classwork. She was passive towards reading short articles out of the news papers. At the time I despised this approach of developing writing skills, because I wanted to read books of my interest not about newspaper articles.

Reading and writing are two of the most important tools in my life, because without them I would not have an education. They form the basis of a class; for example, completing a lab in chemistry would not be possible without following a written lab procedure. These two skills are taught at such a young age, and as education advances students must continue to strive to reach a higher level. I can remember in elementary school, we were always pushed to reach the next reading level once we had successfully mastered the one we were on. It was always a competition for my sister and I to be at a higher level, I usually won. Even though I was excelling in reading it was the complete opposite for writing. It is something that has never come easy

Throughout my life I have been a person who has always favored competition. Furthermore, I have always realized that education is of utmost importance within my life. I believe that education is a key factor within the path of success towards my future career and traveling has always been a necessity within my life. Moreover, I have always valued the significance and purpose of family. I also believe that being physically and mentally healthy will help me become a better individual. The four-way attention chart is a method of emphasizing one’s overall plan by stating the importance of different domains, “work”, “family”, “community”, and “self”, and the focus of time and energy spent on those domains. At the current time, I think that it is safe to say that my future career and personal goals are aligned with my four-way attention chart to a certain extent.

People always say “Mothers are the greatest characters in the world.” I agree because girls' education is an important part of successful families and successful societies, and educating girls means educating a generation. They have learned the knowledge that they can inherit as their mothers. In the real life, I have seen something like this happened before, “A Mother that she doesn't have any education. She doesn’t know what she can teach her children. Now her children become a ganger. She wants to They will listen to the old people said. They don’t even know it’s that right or wrong. This is why it’s important that women need to have the education. They need to teach their children what they have learned. If they don’t learn anything how can they teach their children? But women are not just born to being a mother, they can have their own career too. Like Women are important to have the education because it can decrease child marriage, Increased Literacy, and decrease cervical cancer.

Education is a very important tool you need to live a successful life, Those students who actually take advantage of the education given to them are usually the ones with the most success. The students who don’t take advantage of the education given to them are the ones working a minimum wage 9-5 job. With some students, the education they’re receiving isn’t enough, nowadays most students worry about their elective classes, sports, and after-school activities more than their common core classes. Which are Math, English, Science, and History. In order to increase student success at school all around Anaheim, students should spend more time in their common core classes, rather than spending the same amount of time in their elective classes.

A famous quote by Nelson Mandela says “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” Education is powerful, especially now. Education can give people endless possibilities and change futures. Sadly, more and more high school graduates are passing the chance to have a college education. They don’t see the purpose or value anymore. This problem is getting more persistent as years go by. College is still valuable because it grants a higher salary, gives more career opportunities, and teaches lessons.
