Education; Change of the future


Change: make or become a different substance entirely; transform. Dictionary definition aside, What is change? Is it the possible difference that one would like to make? Is it giving up something for something else? An alteration, or a slight fix? Some say change is a new and refreshing different experience. What would I change you ask? Education is what I am most passionate about. Society needs education. If we are not learning, every second, every minute on the hour, then life isn't as enjoyable. Learning new things is supposed to be interesting, challenging, intruging, and a change of mind. The word change is so powerful because it gives a person the ability to dictate what their lives are going to be like. We need to realize that education is vital to exsistence. Waking up at 6 A.M. on a Tuesday morning dreading the week ahead is not what every teenager in the world is the most excited about. We complain, cry, get angry when the workload is pressuring and intense and when its all over we smile and feel like a brick on our shoulders has been lifted off. Maybe we should reverse this whole idea that school is evil. Maybe we should be grateful that this great opportunity is presented in front of us, that some children might not otherwise have. We should celebrate and live for this treasured gift that we have; a free piece of knowledge. We have teachers and parents to support us all the way, and sometimes we make it difficult for them, and we refuse this golden prize. Education is the key for success. We need to learn. We need to go to school, get a formal education and apply it to real jobs out in this scary big world. Without this knowledge what do we have? A job that you will drag your feet to everyday for the rest of your life until you retire (maybe) at 65 and live unhappily for enternity? Isn't this our only chance at a full happy life? A life of no regrets, a learning experience, and a long joyful ride to the end? Isn't this the change we need? Wake up society; there is more than the exterior walls of your small town, there is more to the interior walls of your tiny classroom. There is more to life than the one you live. Education is the key to success. Without it, change won't even be necessary. We have it all at our fingertips, all we need to change is socieities depiction of reality; education is not the evil.
