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.
