When I started thinking about why education is so important, I
remembered my high school years when I used to spend almost five hours a month
on math homework, wake up at 6:00 AM and get ready for my PSAL soccer game
after school. I remembered my teachers, school subjects, the study and the fun!
I never really hated school. But I have seen many of my peers who hated going
to school; I have had some friends who did not like the idea of studying. Some
needed to be up in summer school for recovery. I personally was always focused
because I wanted to become a software engineer. I know it will be hard and very
challenging. However I believe I can handle the challenge.
The first thing that strikes me about education is knowledge
gain. Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into
something better. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps
us build opinions and have points of view on things in life. People debate over
the subject of whether education is the only thing that gives knowledge. Some
say education is the process of gaining information about the surrounding world
while knowledge is something very different. They are right. But then again,
information cannot be converted into knowledge without education. Education
makes us capable of interpreting things, among other things. It is not just
about lessons in textbooks. It is about the lessons of life. One thing I wish I
can do is, to provide education for all: no child left behind and change the
world for good!
