Education

How is your individual education important to yourself, your local community, and the world?

My education means the world to me. As I sit back and write this post, I think about my parents and where they have come from. Being first generation American, it comes with a tremendous amount of pressure. I feel as if I need to succeed as far as education goes. It's also extremely important to me due to the fact that I think education is the most valuable quality in life. I wish that CPS didn't value grades more than learning so I can focus more on learning new things rather than my grades. Now almost all of my effort is on my grades rather than my knowledge. But even so, my education is truly important to me.


I put my local community with the world in this answer. I feel as if my education is important to the world because everyone should think highly of their education. If everyone values their education highly then the world is a much more competitive and educated place to live in. Sure not everyone does, but most people do and that is why the world is running the way it is, because there is an enormous population who values their education. So my individual education would just add to the world being a much better place to live in. Education causes fear, and fear causes hard work in my eyes. Because if someone is much more educated than you, you know that you have to work hard to get to that place so you don't have to worry about anything on an economic level.
