Education Is Key


Education is a necessity of life

Success is not given

Although that would be nice

Money, a house, clothes and cars

A high school education can barely get you this far

You want your personal expectations and goals to be met?

Earning an education would be best

If you do not want to end up at your local grocery store

Making a minimum of $8.00 an hour

Maybe less, nothing more

Expand your schooling the furthest you can

The more information you obtain

The more open you are to chance

You see how people live with a college degree?

It is nothing like someone with just a diploma

They live lavishly

Physical, mental and social well being

An higher education can provide all of these things

With minimum education you tend to overwork

Just to provide for your family

Even though you are becoming physically hurt

With minimum education you tend to stress

Thinking yourself into a whole

Becoming mentally depressed

With minimum education you tend to lose friends

Those people have moved on from you

Your social life has came to an end

Life is surely what you make of it

But education is key

Make sure to put education first

To help improve life quality

So when you say what it is that you want from life

If it does not involve advancing in education

You better think twice
