I Want an Education

I want a higher education I’m going to say it loud and clear and once again so that you all know it very well I want a higher education With that education, I want to pay it forward To give back To help out To create and solve Now why do I want all of this? It’s not for recognition or even appreciation But for the satisfaction of knowing that I made a positive impact I want to change from an average citizen, To an active citizen To voice my opinions and make sound judgments But how will I make these judgments? The only way, is for me to gain a higher education Now the quality of my education will be top-notch It will not be hindered by a dichotomy The dichotomy of knowledge and practical utility I want to become a knowledgeable citizen who can Empathize, be compassionate and think clearly But what is the purpose of that unless I apply it? I want my education to show how to utilize the knowledge in a practical way I want both components of my education to be fulfilled I want a higher education.
