Eric Patterson: To me education is something to be taken seriously. At times I can really excel in it but then other times I can have no idea whats going on with it. So to me education means something you would need to make something out of yourself and actually get somewhere in life
I think education is when a person learns something, it can be good, it can be bad. The main point is that you don't have to be in school in order to have a good education. I mean like you can just google stuff, and I think you are still having some sort of education like that. I mainly get my education from school obviously, like from all of the 7 classes I take everyday. I get education from my own time too, like all of the other extracurricular activities I do, like playing the violin. Education plays an important role in a human's life, because without it, you can't really do anything. Developing the powers of reasoning and judgment is another thing I think that defines education. Overall I think it is important to have a good education, especially in this bad economy, that is why I think education is important, and that is what it means to me
Education, to me, is something you grasp and take in, something you listen to, then comprehend. Education can take you farther in life and give you what you need to live and survive in life. Education shouldn't be taken lightly, it should be taken seriously, what some of us cannot do at times, but why? I toy with my education at times for my own gain or pleasure, only receiving the consequences later and regretting what I had done. The purpose of education is to prepare, and without preparation, you can't bake your cake, and we're baking a cake of our futures. Our teachers are the chefs, we are but the cake tin that needs to be filled with the batter of education. Our parents say we need education, but never tell us why, why do we need it? "To get a good job" isn't all it's about, your social status is also affected by education, whether it be giving you a better and wider range of vocabulary, not having to use a calculator when you go to the store, knowing what's right and what's wrong; all of that is necessary, and yet, people drop out of high school. People learn perseverance, too, in high school. Education has a big purpose in our life, and we've only just begun.
To me, education is essential if you want to be part of the real world. When you are in school everything is either being simplified or made easy so that you can pass or get a good grade. When you venture out into society you'll realize that nothing is going to be made easy for you. Everything that is worth getting is going to be hard which makes you want that thing, that goal, even more so. But if you are well educated it will seem easy because you have the tools to make it so. I'm not saying that if you are well educated everything will come easy to you but you will have the ability to make it seem easy, you will have the ability to achieve the unachievable and you will surmount the insurmountable. It means that you taking a subject, learning everything you can about it, and applying it. Even if you don't think that you will need to know how to graph a conic or know how to conjugate verbs it's still good to know because the future is a deep, dark hole filled with "what if's". But if you are educated, you can answer life's "what if's".The fact of the matter is that even when you graduate college, get a job, get married, etc. Even when your done with being educated, you never really are. Education is the core of all that is and all that there ever was, without it our society would fall to pieces.
Education is the key to my future. Everything I have been learning since I was little will help me shape my future. Education gives you knowledge and knowledge can mold your future to be bright and successful. Education is really important to me because it makes me analyze my surroundings and enlightens me on how everything works in the world. Sometimes I exceed in learning and sometimes I get really lost and not know what's going on. But I think that is also part of education. You educate yourself on the things you don't know to help yourself and others. I think that everyone likes to learn and be educated but the pressure of getting good grades causes them to give up before getting started. So what if you don't think you'll need to know how photosynthesis works or what the Pythagorean Theorem is so you don't bother learning it. Then one day you get jacked and the guy says that he'll let you go if you explain to him what happens in photosynthesis. You will be totally screwed because you didn't even bother to learn that section in biology class. Education can seriously save your life. Sure it can give you killer migraines when you overload your brain but the proud feeling you feel when you know you’ve just learned something new is worth it. Overall, education is something that you shouldn't waste. It’s something I won't waste. It is valuable and should be taken very seriously.
Education is what makes you, you. The amount of education you have defines who you really are by the way you act and talk to other people. Without education who would we be? There would be scientist, doctors, or engineers to keep progressing our knowledge today. People are always learning, we learn something new everyday. And most of that knowledge comes from our teachers who are molding us into the people that we are going to be in the future. We will keep learning till the way we die so its up too you how much and what you really want to educated. So if education is you, then don't you want to be a better person by getting educated? Its up to you how much you want to learn.
Education is definitely a huge part of my life. It is extremely important to me and my family. To me, your level of education is a big part of what determines your future. For me, education is not only about learning in school, but learning life lessons outside of school. You may learn something completely irrelevant to what you would learn in a classroom, however it can help you nonetheless in life. My parents worked indescribably hard to give me and my brother a good life. My mom and dad always tell me to focus on my studies so that I can go to a good college then go on to having a good job. I wouldn't be here without them, so I do as well as I do in school partially for them. The other part is to prove to myself I am capable of the things life gives me. In my opinion, all a kid wants to do really is make their parents proud, hence my passion for a good education. Life is a learning experience in itself, you can't be guided along the way, you need to be able to teach yourself and learn from your own mistakes. Education is all in the mind, whether academically or street wise, everyone is educated. You are your own teacher, whether or not you allow others to teach you is your choice, but you are educating yourself every single day. Education is a very valuable object, so I try my best not to miss any learning experiences.
Education to me is the pathway to success. Some people believe that education is just an option, but I believe that it gives a sense of direction in life. The motivation of having a successful life gives you a reason to persevere. Knowledge is expanded in education, and we all know that there is no limit to it. Learning is a part of being human; that is how the human brain evolved and adapted to the world, full of opportunity. Education is almost like a backbone. When I was younger, my mom would always tell me, "Education is a wealth that nobody can take from you." Just like in money, you would want to become richer, so I invest in bettering my education. The reason as to why education is a backbone is because it provides abstract support. You can't see it, but it's there, and it'll help you along the way of advancing in life, and even fulfilling The American Dream. There is no age limit in education. No one can stop you from acquiring more knowledge. For some people, education is almost a reason to be proud of yourself. All the hard work you put into it will be payed off in the end, although results may very and even delay. Without education, the world would be filled with illiterate lunatics trying to figure out the ways of living. Education has been the biggest savior for the world, allowing people to overcome obstacles, and provide a better life for themselves and those around them.
Jose Maciel To me education is the key to your future in life. i think your education is the most important thing you can have i think it will determined how you will grow up to be and your prospective of your self. It will also help you learn more about your true abilities and skills. Some time education can be hard to maintain but if you put it to work it will take you far.
Education is the key to life, without it, you wont be able to be successful, even if your a football superstar. Doesn't have to be just football either, it could be any sports, you need education to be able to be in sports, 2.5 and higher, it's not good, but it's something. Plus, I think everyone would be slow without education, we wouldn't be as smart and would be ineligible to create new and advanced technologies. Education can buy you money, it may sound funny, but it's the truth. And money can buy you happiness. Don't say love, because love can break like throwing a rock at your window. The point is, education is important and is a gigantic impact of your life, without it, you'd have a life, but on the streets, unless some miracles happen to you. And for those who don't care about education are actually on the streets or soon to be, possibly dead. You never know. Education is also a life-saver. ;D
Education is education. Its what everyone goes through most there lives. Not just to learn but to define who we are and to find the potential we have to become successful later in life. I look at education as a mission something i have to complete to fullfill my future. Its not what we choose to do its what we have to do. I look forward to prepare myself in highschool for college to get the real education i need because highschool is just to prepare me for college but college is what you need to complete to start your real life. When Mr.Lucero singled me out of the classroom when we had a sub because i wasn't in my seat i was like what an asshole!! but i know hes a good teacher and he will do his job to prepare me for college. And this is my education.
Benson Liang To me education means learning about the world and gaining an understanding of it. There are lots of things that I do not know. When I encounter something that I can't understand at all, I tend to be annoyed by my incompetence. But when I completely understand something, which rarely happens, I get a very satisfying feeling. It's like having the pieces of a puzzle fit together and getting to see the full picture. There are plenty of things worth knowing to be educated in. I also think of education as a way of securing my future. If I do well in school then I will be able to get into a good colleges, get good jobs, and probably move in a better general direction in life than if I didn't. Education is a painfully time-consuming process. 8 hours of school and several hours of homework and studying every day. So little free time left, except on weekends. Still, I haven't gone through anything that nobody else hasn't gone through before and it will definitely get worse in college. Learning is a lot more productive and rewarding way to spend my time than slacking off, like I would like to do.
Education is very important to me. Every since I was little, I’ve been very into school. It’s not a surprise to most people that I actually like school cause I’m a little of a nerd. School’s been very easy for me all throughout elementary school and middle school but high school has been proven more of a challenge in some areas mostly just with French 2 and math. Other than that, I’m doing fine. I think my attitude towards not really liking the class is affecting my grade, but I really do try. I think I don’t like the challenge. I’m trying to adjust my attitude about the situation but it’s still a struggle because it takes me awhile to react to change. The purpose of education in my life is to get out of school with a great amount of knowledge. Of course, I will never be done learning but just learning the basics will satisfy me. Having ‘general knowledge’ and ‘common sense’. I also want to make my parents proud because they did sacrifice a lot for the purpose of going to good schools and living a better life even though it meant that we had to move thousands of miles away. So for me, actually finishing high school and being the first in my family to go to college will be a very big accomplishment.
Moises Rosales Education is something we need to succeed and is something you need if you want to be successful in life. Without education I have no idea were I will be. Education is free in America but in most countries you have to pay. I approach education as an opportunity to become someone in life to be the first in my family to finish college and have a good paying job. I did view education as in going to school Monday through Friday and sitting at a desk and listening to someone talk but in reality its not like that. People have to wake up and realize if they don't get there education now that there going to fail in life and hit the floor hard. So education means a lot to me because without it, I will be in the streets sitting down asking people for money so education means a lot to me.
Education can mean two things for me. It can either be an opportunity or a burden. Coming from the Philippines, an American education is far and away the best opportunity I have ever been handed in my life. However, the burdens of balancing school work and personal leisure can make me ponder about whether or not I like school. The classes I have can also be a determining factor in whether I see education as an opportunity or burden. For example, in classes like English and History, I see education as an opportunity because it is what I like to learn. When I start learning something that I like to learn, I immediately see it as an opportunity because it is a chance for me to advance my knowledge in lessons that will help me become what I want in the future. In other subjects, such as math, it is more of a burden. Math is one of my least favorite subjects, and so learning the material for it is much more of a burden for me because I don't like the material and it does not have much of a role in jobs I want in the future such as being a lawyer, therefore I have less incentive for myself to put out as much effort in math as I do in other subjects. In general, I feel education is a great thing. At this point in the 21st century, education is a must for going into the workforce. However, education does not have to be like that. I feel education can be an opportunity because you can have the chance to learn what you like and actually take away something from the day to day lessons that are handed down to you. Doing the complete opposite, which is having to learn things you don't like, makes it a burden. To sum it up, education for me is a two way street. It can be a golden age for your mind to flourish in the opportunities that are presented to you, or it can be a dark age for your mind with learning you just plain don't care about.
To me education means to gain experience and knowledge that will assist you sometime in your life. To some, education may mean earning a good grade that will allow you to get a good job and/or college. That can be true for some. But education is about learning, not memorizing information and copying it onto a paper that will decide your fate. And the information might not even help that person in their life. Since different people want different things. Getting a true education would be learning that information and being able to use it throughout their lives. But there are others who would see school as just a nuisance. Since it is stealing away their time that they could be spending doing other things. Those people would just be ignoring their education or barely try. But the way people view school depends on how they treat their education. And how they view it would also depend on what they wand their occupation to be after high school. Like a writer probably wouldnt need math skills. Or a designer wouldnt need to know history. So in those classes the people might view them as useless to them. It all depends on the peoples perception.
Roneshua Baltimore I think education is something that is not really needed. I’m not saying it isn’t nice to feel smart but you don’t have to nesscicarily be a genius to be able to live in life. I mean just think about the people of our past that didn’t have any choice to learn anything but they still survived every single day and night. I feel like education is something that should be obligated to be done. It should be that person’s choice. If they want to learn or not that is their choice or their mistake and no others. Education should not be scared into being done it should be enjoyable and be loved to be done and want to make someone never want to finish. And you also shouldn’t try and make someone focus on one class. If you ever just devote your life to one thing you are going to go no where in life. Imagined if I devoted my whole day and week to business class? How do you think that would turn out for my other classes? I know education is way to push everyone to their limits but some people have their limits not very far from the starting line. Some people don’t have the devotion others do. Some don’t have the patience and others just don’t have the time. Your life and education should be built on creativity not on intelligence. You can be the smartest person in the world and still wouldn’t have half of the creativity of someone who never went to school at all.
Grashan Austin Jr To me education is something you need to survive in the human world. I think this because if you are not educated if in the most simple of ways you can’t do anything on your own. For example, every kid that goes to school or begins being taught by their parents eventually learns how to talk in a proper manner. But with out that education you would be able to communicate with people because they would not know what your saying. Like if a Spanish speaking person was lost in a area of people who only speak English or mandarin how could they communicate to get things they need like water or food or even if they were sick. Another example would be if a person born in an urban area was taken to a wild areas, forests, or desert with no process food or showers how would they figure out how to get food or find shelter. They would not be educated or have the knowledge to survive in these areas. And without education you have no academic or street smarts. Without that how can you get a jog or go to college. How could you to know right from wrong choices if people don’t tell you what they are? That is what education means to me.

education to me is the one thing you need in life. If you dont have a education then you dont have the life you dream of. Education not only teaches you how to read and count, it teaches you how to be in life and can shape your life. If you dont go to school then not only would you not know how to count money to be the millionair but you be able to learn the skill to have friends. to me education is very important because if i fail in school my parents would treat me differantly. Education also is the gateway to my dream job of being in law enforcement. To me there is almost no way to avoide education it is all around us. When you watch t.v. you learn something from it. so in general education is something you need in life and that it helps shape both your social life and academic life.
To me education is a key factor in order to succeed later on. Without education, then we'll be that guy that can barely speak English that we saw in that Youtube video a weeks ago. Most people take education for granted, they don' even care about it ,and aren't even motivated. Without education then you won't even try in school. Growing up in The Philippines, I barely knew what the world around me was like.Compared to most boys and girls I actually cherished education. I saw boys and girls working for there families.The primarial reason we moved to America was to have a better education. When I came to America, I was so determined to live the American dream, by embracing education. To be honest even I don't get motivated that much, but it's usually my dad who pushes my behind in the end. I think that most people that hate education and would rather stay home and sleep biggest obstacles is homework,reports,and essays. There is no easy way to accquire all the knowledge you gain through learning. Education will give you good jobs such as a doctor, lawyer, and radiologist. People say that there are billionaires that dropped out of college that makes tons of money. I think that it PURE luck that they achieved that.Always have education to have your back later on. To me the teachers who constantly challenge you everyday, giving you a variety of new things to try will always prepare you for the real life. The biggest of obstacles will always have the best rewards. FOr example you study law for ten years , but its reward is making a lot of money for the future. There is no regret in ever trying to put so much effort in education. Many people who I talk to today, that have pretty jobs that you don't want regret it for not putting so much effort in education and knowledge. I think that education is kinda like a double edged sword. You want to learn ,but you don't want to do the work. Like I said before there is no shortcut, you'll always have to study, reread, and memorize things to grasp the concept of what you're learning. Always study in all your areas of what your learning in school. Only studying in one or two will always cause you to regret it later on. If you want to proudly and loudly tell your kids your job in the future then hit the books and study. Try and try until you get it. The biggest reward in education is the hardest one to get. To me this is what education is.
Education, to me, is a tool that people can use to reach goals. It guides you to opportunities. Education helps a person face and overcome challenges that they may be experiencing. It can help you reach any goal, whether it’s losing weight, writing a 10 page essay for Mr. Lucero’s class, doing homework, or learning a new language. Education isn’t only having the ability to write at a college level or solve a calculus equation, education is everyday knowledge and skills, which without we would be dead. Since the beginning of time, cavemen discovered that if they don’t eat they lose a lot of weight and die, so they hunted, and then they discovered new techniques of hunting and even cooking their food, they gained education from experience and practice. Education, in present times, can also contribute to a student’s future, if they have an advanced or proficient education, primarily literature. They can be given the opportunity to study at some if the best known colleges and universities in the world. Education is an essential in everyday life; it’s what helps us earn money, make positive/healthy decisions, and excel in life no matter who you are or what you wish to be in the future.
Alex Lopez said… What education means to me is a lot of different things. Education is something people should want. A long time ago I thought education was something I could just skate though it, but it’s not like that. Education is something that people should hold on to and never let go because you are never going to stop learning. Education is everywhere, only if you choose to accept it. You can go anywhere to get an education. A true education starts when you grab it hold on for your life and never let go because it is very easy to lose your education. If you just skate though your education then you are just going to skate though life. You can do fine without an education but you are not going to go very far. The people with a education are going to do well in life and they might go on with there academic career. And that is what education is to me and how I think about education.
In my opinion education is the key to whatever it is you are yearning for or “dreaming“ about. I’ve been learning all these different things for 10 years math science English history etc. in school and I want to know more. Education to me Is very decisive, especially to my parents. They always tell me that you need education for the future and its true, we take advantage of it. Sometimes procrastination gets to me, to us but we just have to make a system to work with, in other words have a time to do your hw and to do another thing. Education is much needed for later on in life, and anywhere else. Where does learning how to write an essay or how to spell a certain word, come from? It comes from education, you always have to be willing to do something to get what you want later on in the future. That is EDUCATION. Learning is not a hard thing to do, you just have to be dedicated and always try hard for those good grades. Sometimes I hear people say that teachers are being strict about school work, and I get mad about it sometimes. Though, In my opinion that’s there job to help us young people get ready for the future. Education is the answer to everything.
Education is very important to me, it can leave such an impact on your life in the future. Even though it might be boring as hell, but its better to suffer and learn now then to be sorry later on in the future.Sure we all go through failing tests, quizzes and even homework assignments, but that don't mean you don't hang your head down, Keep you head up because we still get credit for trying, right? I mean you still learn something even if you do get it wrong just by trying. Now if you don't make an effort in trying then you will never become successful or learn anything by just being a lazy statue. So it's always good to at least make an effort at doing something or try something new. You never know whats going to hit you later on in life. It's important to learn new things and to pay attention during your education because all that knowledge you learned from the textbook, Teachers, power point, etc. It will help you with any kind of Job your willing to take. Examples: 1.Registered Nurse; you need to be really good in all science categories 2. Accountant or Engineer; in order to become that, you need to take lots and lots of math from algebra through calculus. Thats why its important to take your education seriously and to not goof off or be a lazy butt. Not only it's my goal, but its everybody's goal. Of course everybody wants to be successful in life, graduate high school, enroll to high standard colleges or universities and get that high paying job in the end to support your family or future family. I mean that's my goal for the future. I want to make my family proud in the end when I become successful and graduate. Its better to get all that education and knowledge in your head at a early age then to be sorry as an adult and enroll to an adult school. For me, I'm a fighter. Education is related to Boxing or Muay Thai Kickboxing, if you put Geometry and boxing/Kickboxing together, you learn several different ways to strike at your opponent. Either striking him with a 45 degree hook punch, a 90 degree head kick, or even a 360 degree flying kick or back kick. You may have all that strength and power but when it comes to techniques, it will overcome Strength/power and lead you on the path to become Victorious. See how education relates to many different ways, its fun to learn new things, but in the end it can really give you a big, fat, extraordinary migraines which happens a couple times, but hey that's life. Got to accept it and move on. Parties will always be around, they come and go. But when it comes to education you cant go back and retake classes that you failed at because it will be to late. Then you will have to suffer enrolling low paying jobs like Mc Donald's or Burger King, Taco bell, Etc. This is a great time to sit down and think about how your future want be like.
They define the word education as the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university. I agree, but I also think that you can receive education, or get smarter, in a place other than school. Anyway, education is the most important thing in life for me at this moment. There's nothing else I worry about other than my own education because I know that I need it for my future. I want to be successful in life, and in order for me to obtain success, I need an education. I want to be successful for many reasons. I want to be successful for I can provide everything for my family and take care of them, and I also want to be successful because I would make myself proud. My parents have always told me that education is the key to everything. Honestly, I believe them because education can get you anywhere in life. I worry about my education because I am honestly scared of life and I know that if I have a great education, everything will be a lot easier for my family and I. Education is important to me because education can lead me on to making a successful business, or getting a great job that I love. Therefore, it will lead to a good house and a healthy family. What I'm trying to say is that education is something you have to take advantage of. Education is something that will lead you to great things in life. Education is what will make you realize the best things in this cold world. Education is a huge part of my life. Education is the best thing that my wonderful parents have provided me with.
Education-The act or process of educating or being educated. The knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process. A program of instruction of a specified kind or level. But to me education is all about succeeding in life. I believe this because education is one stepping stone to success. Education is a mere concept everybody worries about. I believe education and learning are two different processes. Education is forced upon ones self by a parent or biggest of all the government. Education is a norm that everybody believes that everyone in their community must have. They look down on the non-educated and shake their heads. Learning is not forced upon and it happens every single day. Learning is everywhere. Even when you don’t know it but your learning something new. Either if its in school or even on the street corner your brain is always processing new data in which it comes from your senses. To infer I believe educations should be a choice instead of being force upon.
Education is a stepping stone to success. However not everything needs education. For example to graduate San Leandro High School you need credits in PE. If you want to be let us say a business man when would you ever need PE? If you want to be an athlete when are you ever going to need math? I think education is trying to make you all around when in reality it needs to be centered on what you want to do. Why would you take classes you don't need? Back to what education is, it is probably the only way to get a good job. Also it might dictate the way you live for the rest of your life. It also says what you do the rest of your life socially, if you do well in school and get a good job you can go on vacation a lot during the year. If you do bad, you do bad and get a bad job, you work your ass off and maybe get vacation maybe once every five years. This leads to my other point do badly in school and you will have a living nightmare and get stuck in a dead end job and then you work until you die and then no one remembers you since you probably aren't going to try and innovate and take action.
Education to me is something in life you need to take seriously and not for granted. We should appreciate that we have the ability to be educated unlike other people in various parts of the world. We need to excel in our education to better ourselves later on in life. Some people don’t believe in higher education, not even the importance of a high school diploma. Education will help open doors to get a good job and move forward within your career field. At one point in our history woman were not even allowed to go to school. I consider myself lucky as a woman to be able to go to school and become a successful part of our society. All of this would not be possible without an education.
Education is very important. Education is an important thing if you want to be successful in life. To me if you want to be successful you have to have a good education, because it teaches you things that might be useful for the real life. Although some material you learn in school might not be logical or useful in the profession that you want to be in, Its important to learn these basics. The goverment wants to build a foundation, so that if an earthquake happens we will still be standing, steadfast and strong. People who dont take this advantage in school, wont have the foundation, and when an earthquake happens, The thing that, that person loves the most will be left behind, in rubble. And 15 years from now I dont want to be that person, whose homeless, poor, hungry, and cold. My dreams is to have a stunning, radiant wife; a marvelous, exquisite home; and content kids. For me to acheive this dream i must be well educated, and school is the first step into acheving my dreams
I believe that education is truly everything to me. As we grow up we learn everything, how to walk, how to talk, how eat, how to shower, etc. Education is not just school but is a daily life thing. Generally, people see education as school and studying. To me education is something as simple as tying a shoe to something as complicated as learning how to a whole new language. As we grow up, even when we are out of school we will still be in education. Learning how to go throughout life as we get older. It has been seen as a requirement to other people, meaning education is just school. We often view school as education because of all the learning,but I believe we learn something everyday, whether it be off the streets or in school. I see it as something you need when you are very young that you never stop needing.
Christian olide what i think about education is that is the best thing that someone could get because its free an it would help you get were u want to go. Education is given to you so you could learn from it and could get you to go to college if you want to go. The reason you get education is to get better on every thing and to help you on ur jobs and may be getting a scholarship.
Education to me is something serious and big. Education is your future. I think that education is something we as students and all those people out there that can go to school free should take advantage of it because not all people have this opportunity. I think if it wasn’t for education we wouldn’t have doctors, lawyers, police officers, business owners, dentist, orthodontics, teachers etc. We would all be no life’s looking for a way to get out of life. I believe education is a choice for everyone but I don’t understand why there are some that decide and take as a joke and slack off. They don’t sit and think about their future, where their education is going to take them. At times I get off task but I get right back on because one I’m going to get off track and get behind two I’m going to flunk my test and is just going to be a waste of time. I’m only 15 and I have crashed into so many thing already that I wish I haven’t. I look back to them moments and all I say is “I’m so stupid why did I do it” but I learned from my mistake. Especially, after it got to my father that I cut class. I have a very strict father and after we talked he made me realize several things so did my older brother. After the 2nd time I cut school I never did it again and till this day I don’t have it planned to do it at all. Now I learned to think twice before I do something. I want to be the child my father and mother wish for. I want to be the first to go college in my family and finish my education completely and show my dad I am not the fuck up child he thinks I am. I believe in myself and I’m not going to give up I’m going to chase my dream until I catch it. I see myself being a nurse taking care of patients, I also see myself as a lawyer but who knows maybe ill change my mind all I know is that I’m going to get a good job make good money and be someone in the world. Education is my future and I’m going to take advantage. I wish everyone had the opportunity to be educated for free and to be able to attend a university even though they don’t have papers to make their dreams come true and be successful in life.
Education is an opportunity. It is an opportunity to ameliorate yourself to be the best that you can be. It is also a necessary requirement for a job. All the high paying, corporate jobs require a degree in the job you are trying to have. Whether it be business and administration to computer technicians, you need a degree to certify to the company you work for, that you know what you're doing. In order to know what you're doing, you need to study everything necessary in school. It is important that you have education or else you would go nowhere in life. If you think about it, living without knowing anything is not living at all. Without knowing anything, everything you do would go wrong and end up in countless mistakes. That is why we have an educational system, it is a benefit or I should say opportunity given to us to live life.
To me education is my future.Without education i wouldn't have a future,because i think my education will be the main key to my life.Without education i would be uneducated and feel like a failure.I think it is important to go to school and pay attention,listen closely,and take actions apon your work.School is a opportunity to get educated and be a successful person and get far in life.Most people who are uneducated don't that that great of a life and i wouldn't want to be known as one of those people.I try to study as much as i can to get a better education.I look over all my school work and study after school.Some people aren't even fortunate enough to get a education so i think everyone who is lucky enough should not take it for granted and be grateful.
Education to me means oportunities.Education gives you a higher chance of becoming someone, someone that actually get somewhere important for them in life. I think we should take education seriously because it is probably the easiest face we will ever have to go throught but its one of the most importat ones because its when you learn the basics of alot of subjects that you'll need some understanding about later on. You might think history class won't help you at all I think it won't but for some reason is required some classes will help us alot in the future and some classes are not gonna help us at all but since we dont know yet who we want to be I guess we have to take some unecessary classes. Education is the basis of getting started in life education is fundemental to being succeful. You dont have to be an A student but as long as you're learning and trying your best thats good enoguh
My speculation on education is that you start when you are young and you continue until the end of your life. So from when you start school up to your graduation you are forced to learn in class, but the truth is you learn all the time so why stop? Education is an ongoing thing that you should not discontinue just because you have a diploma. Learning is a key in life and a good portion of learning comes from school, whether it is about a subject you are taking or what someone is informing you about you are being educated. The education system around the world is corrupt because most students work for the grade not to educate themselves. They don’t realize when they end up knowing about an unfamiliar subject it is still called learning whether in school or out in the real world. Although I know from experience that you don’t need to be an A student to learn you just have to be motivated and willing to interpret information. At times I don’t worry what my grade is as long as I am learning because this can help sculpt you future into the way you want to live your life and your views on everything. But also a good portion of learning is from your surroundings so you should always pay attention. Every day of your life if you look and try to understand something you never knew that will help you obtain more knowledge for yourself. I feel like you don’t need good grades to be smart because smart people know: one that learning is for the rest of your life; two grades don’t necessarily determine your knowledge capacity and three there is nothing stupid to learn or about learning. I value education for the reason that it is something that has started with the first humans up till now, because once you completely learn something you won’t fully forget. But humans aren’t the only educated living creatures. As an example a chameleon educates itself from the beginning that when you see anything big they change colors and blend in with the back ground for humans we have to adapt and change our ways which is how learning developed. In conclusion it is inevitable to not learn on a daily basis so I cease my rambling at this if you value education you know what it means. -amany j
Nathan Balmes Education to me is about the things we learn and what we will learn in the future. The things we learn now will be the most important in our journey on becoming successful adults. Education is an opportunity for many people because you can choose whether to take it or pass. Hopefully, you can choose the right path and go for the education because this is the one thing we will ever need in our lives. Education is essential to almost everyone.
Jejuan Narcisse Education to me is my first priorty. It is the first thing that should be on peoples mind. There was a saying I heard" there is a jar u want to put all of your rocks in you put in your big rocks before your small rocks".- Ricardo Avitia. That means you put your priorities before your fun. Education gets your places not call of duty. Education is the main thing that will get you places.
Conner Sturm Education to me is those sleepless nights doing work. Work that may or may not help you later, but work you pioneer into the night to get finished. Education is sitting through class half asleep in a haze of boredom, thinking that what the teacher is preaching is pointless and unnecessary. It's what your parents take your phone for when they see you aren't applying it well enough. It's all these sleepless nights, long hours, and phone revocations that are crucial to your future. Education is simply an abstract collection of information that one is to use later on in life. The education one receives is simply the basis for your future. Education is, simply, crucial.
Steffon Williams thinks... Education means what you know or learning. it also means opportnities in life, you cant get very far in our society without any education at all. Education gets you places and it gets you thin gs in life. Educationis my future in life.
I feel as if education is life , or at least one of the most essential things for life on earth . Education is just like water . I mean we need water to live , right ? We also need education to live , because without it , we'd be just like the old cavemen that Mr. Lucero mentioned in class a few weeks ago . We need education to live because after receiving our education , we gain knowledge . We need to learn things before we know them , right ? It's not like we wake up and already know something . For instance , think about waking up for school in the morning . The only way that you'd know if you were up on time is by checking the clock . You didn't know what time it was when you opened your eyes , but you found out when you looked at the clock . The clock is a sort of form of an educator , because it has informed you of the time of the day & your teacher or parent has informed you of what time you need to be at school and also how to tell time in general . It's all a process of education & test of knowledge that we go through every single day . I know that I probably sound very weird right now , but put it like this : The process of being ' Educated ' by an ' Educator ' Is defined by the word ' EDUCATION ' . In order to gain knowledge , us humans need to be taught things . Those things start to occur when we are babies , but if there was no source of education & no easier ways of gaining knowledge , things wouldn't be so high-tech nowadays . Foe example , Steve jobs's great , great (x35) grandson would have probably announced the production of the first ipod in the year 3000 instead of 2001 . The human race would basically take a huge step back . I know that the ipod and other apple products would be viewed as modern technology , but think about how it would be for us . When and how do you think that we would have learned the more healthy ways of taking care of our personal hygiene like the ways we do today ? Lets not get into all of that , that's a whole different , messy type of situation . I'm just very thankful and proud that education is everywhere throughout the world and that i'm receiving it for free , unlike some other countries whom i feel very sorry for . Because without it , there'd be no form of hope for the future . That's what we are focused on every day that we open up our eyes . . . Our Futures - We Are The Future ! & Education is going to get us to many great places in life .
Not saying that we don't do it enough now , but we all need to take education more serious . I know that i need to take it more serious , because i'll be sitting down thinking about it when i'm old & wrinkly and i don't want to have any regrets about it .
Education to me is everything around us. It's a system for learning right? But the fact is no matter what we're learning about it's still learning and we learn about new things constantly. It's a process to show people's growth mentally, physically, and emotionally. It tests our strengths and weaknesses. Education is part of life. No matter how hard people try to get out of it most people wont. Like I said we learn everyday. Some people love it and some people hate it. Some people grasp that advantage of excelling their potential. Those people are ones that are most likely to succeed. For this reason is because the take action, they're determined, and they try to meet deadlines at all times. Education shows our future ahead of us. It shows where we are gonna be in life and how we are gonna be excepted. Learning equals education. Education equals to daily notions. Daily notions equals life. The cycle of education can not outgrow anybody. Education is the key to life.
Education means the world to me. With out education people would be milling mindlessly around with out a purpose. Education is a gateway to millions of opportunities and a bright future. A lot of my peers don't see education in the same light as others. Based on your level of maturity is how seriously you take your education. Teenagers don't see it as something that will benefit them. But I know for a fact that if I do not take advantage of what is given to me me now I will regret it in the future. A good education is the greatest tool or weapon you can ever find. The impact it has on your life is substantial. I know for a fact that i do not take my education as seriously as I should and that is something that must be changed immediately. I know that if i get a proper education now I will be set for life.
Education to me is the success of everyday life. Without education people can't live there lives in normal ways. Education can help you with work, school and for your future children that will need help from you one day. Education is either a pass or fail in life.
I was born in American Samoa and i think the only reason i came to America is to get a good education. To me it means that my parents cared about me because we could of stayed in American Samoa and never have the opportunity that i have today to have a brighter future. Education is also important to me so that i can play football one day, because everybody knows that football and education go hand in hand. Back in my country you don't need education to play rugby, but in America is not the case. The final reason education is important is so that i can get a good job that i would to do and wake up every morning feeling good. Education means a lot to my parents but most of all me, i do it for myself so i wouldn't be the one in the street asking for money.
Eric Patterson:
ReplyDeleteTo me education is something to be taken seriously. At times I can really excel in it but then other times I can have no idea whats going on with it. So to me education means something you would need to make something out of yourself and actually get somewhere in life
I think education is when a person learns something, it can be good, it can be bad. The main point is that you don't have to be in school in order to have a good education. I mean like you can just google stuff, and I think you are still having some sort of education like that. I mainly get my education from school obviously, like from all of the 7 classes I take everyday. I get education from my own time too, like all of the other extracurricular activities I do, like playing the violin. Education plays an important role in a human's life, because without it, you can't really do anything. Developing the powers of reasoning and judgment is another thing I think that defines education. Overall I think it is important to have a good education, especially in this bad economy, that is why I think education is important, and that is what it means to me
ReplyDeleteEducation, to me, is something you grasp and take in, something you listen to, then comprehend. Education can take you farther in life and give you what you need to live and survive in life. Education shouldn't be taken lightly, it should be taken seriously, what some of us cannot do at times, but why? I toy with my education at times for my own gain or pleasure, only receiving the consequences later and regretting what I had done. The purpose of education is to prepare, and without preparation, you can't bake your cake, and we're baking a cake of our futures. Our teachers are the chefs, we are but the cake tin that needs to be filled with the batter of education. Our parents say we need education, but never tell us why, why do we need it? "To get a good job" isn't all it's about, your social status is also affected by education, whether it be giving you a better and wider range of vocabulary, not having to use a calculator when you go to the store, knowing what's right and what's wrong; all of that is necessary, and yet, people drop out of high school. People learn perseverance, too, in high school. Education has a big purpose in our life, and we've only just begun.
ReplyDeleteTo me, education is essential if you want to be part of the real world. When you are in school everything is either being simplified or made easy so that you can pass or get a good grade. When you venture out into society you'll realize that nothing is going to be made easy for you. Everything that is worth getting is going to be hard which makes you want that thing, that goal, even more so. But if you are well educated it will seem easy because you have the tools to make it so. I'm not saying that if you are well educated everything will come easy to you but you will have the ability to make it seem easy, you will have the ability to achieve the unachievable and you will surmount the insurmountable.
ReplyDeleteIt means that you taking a subject, learning everything you can about it, and applying it. Even if you don't think that you will need to know how to graph a conic or know how to conjugate verbs it's still good to know because the future is a deep, dark hole filled with "what if's". But if you are educated, you can answer life's "what if's".The fact of the matter is that even when you graduate college, get a job, get married, etc. Even when your done with being educated, you never really are. Education is the core of all that is and all that there ever was, without it our society would fall to pieces.
Education is the key to my future. Everything I have been learning since I was little will help me shape my future. Education gives you knowledge and knowledge can mold your future to be bright and successful. Education is really important to me because it makes me analyze my surroundings and enlightens me on how everything works in the world. Sometimes I exceed in learning and sometimes I get really lost and not know what's going on. But I think that is also part of education. You educate yourself on the things you don't know to help yourself and others. I think that everyone likes to learn and be educated but the pressure of getting good grades causes them to give up before getting started. So what if you don't think you'll need to know how photosynthesis works or what the Pythagorean Theorem is so you don't bother learning it. Then one day you get jacked and the guy says that he'll let you go if you explain to him what happens in photosynthesis. You will be totally screwed because you didn't even bother to learn that section in biology class. Education can seriously save your life. Sure it can give you killer migraines when you overload your brain but the proud feeling you feel when you know you’ve just learned something new is worth it. Overall, education is something that you shouldn't waste. It’s something I won't waste. It is valuable and should be taken very seriously.
ReplyDeleteEducation is what makes you, you. The amount of education you have defines who you really are by the way you act and talk to other people. Without education who would we be? There would be scientist, doctors, or engineers to keep progressing our knowledge today. People are always learning, we learn something new everyday. And most of that knowledge comes from our teachers who are molding us into the people that we are going to be in the future. We will keep learning till the way we die so its up too you how much and what you really want to educated. So if education is you, then don't you want to be a better person by getting educated? Its up to you how much you want to learn.
ReplyDeleteEducation is definitely a huge part of my life. It is extremely important to me and my family. To me, your level of education is a big part of what determines your future. For me, education is not only about learning in school, but learning life lessons outside of school. You may learn something completely irrelevant to what you would learn in a classroom, however it can help you nonetheless in life. My parents worked indescribably hard to give me and my brother a good life. My mom and dad always tell me to focus on my studies so that I can go to a good college then go on to having a good job. I wouldn't be here without them, so I do as well as I do in school partially for them. The other part is to prove to myself I am capable of the things life gives me. In my opinion, all a kid wants to do really is make their parents proud, hence my passion for a good education. Life is a learning experience in itself, you can't be guided along the way, you need to be able to teach yourself and learn from your own mistakes. Education is all in the mind, whether academically or street wise, everyone is educated. You are your own teacher, whether or not you allow others to teach you is your choice, but you are educating yourself every single day. Education is a very valuable object, so I try my best not to miss any learning experiences.

ReplyDeleteEducation to me is the pathway to success. Some people believe that education is just an option, but I believe that it gives a sense of direction in life. The motivation of having a successful life gives you a reason to persevere. Knowledge is expanded in education, and we all know that there is no limit to it. Learning is a part of being human; that is how the human brain evolved and adapted to the world, full of opportunity. Education is almost like a backbone. When I was younger, my mom would always tell me, "Education is a wealth that nobody can take from you." Just like in money, you would want to become richer, so I invest in bettering my education. The reason as to why education is a backbone is because it provides abstract support. You can't see it, but it's there, and it'll help you along the way of advancing in life, and even fulfilling The American Dream. There is no age limit in education. No one can stop you from acquiring more knowledge. For some people, education is almost a reason to be proud of yourself. All the hard work you put into it will be payed off in the end, although results may very and even delay. Without education, the world would be filled with illiterate lunatics trying to figure out the ways of living. Education has been the biggest savior for the world, allowing people to overcome obstacles, and provide a better life for themselves and those around them.

ReplyDeleteTo me education is the key to your future in life. i think your education is the most important thing you can have i think it will determined how you will grow up to be and your prospective of your self. It will also help you learn more about your true abilities and skills. Some time education can be hard to maintain but if you put it to work it will take you far.
Education is the key to life, without it, you wont be able to be successful, even if your a football superstar. Doesn't have to be just football either, it could be any sports, you need education to be able to be in sports, 2.5 and higher, it's not good, but it's something. Plus, I think everyone would be slow without education, we wouldn't be as smart and would be ineligible to create new and advanced technologies. Education can buy you money, it may sound funny, but it's the truth. And money can buy you happiness. Don't say love, because love can break like throwing a rock at your window. The point is, education is important and is a gigantic impact of your life, without it, you'd have a life, but on the streets, unless some miracles happen to you. And for those who don't care about education are actually on the streets or soon to be, possibly dead. You never know. Education is also a life-saver. ;D

ReplyDeleteEducation is education. Its what everyone goes through most there lives. Not just to learn but to define who we are and to find the potential we have to become successful later in life. I look at education as a mission something i have to complete to fullfill my future. Its not what we choose to do its what we have to do. I look forward to prepare myself in highschool for college to get the real education i need because highschool is just to prepare me for college but college is what you need to complete to start your real life. When Mr.Lucero singled me out of the classroom when we had a sub because i wasn't in my seat i was like what an asshole!! but i know hes a good teacher and he will do his job to prepare me for college. And this is my education.
ReplyDeleteBenson Liang
ReplyDeleteTo me education means learning about the world and gaining an understanding of it. There are lots of things that I do not know. When I encounter something that I can't understand at all, I tend to be annoyed by my incompetence. But when I completely understand something, which rarely happens, I get a very satisfying feeling. It's like having the pieces of a puzzle fit together and getting to see the full picture. There are plenty of things worth knowing to be educated in. I also think of education as a way of securing my future. If I do well in school then I will be able to get into a good colleges, get good jobs, and probably move in a better general direction in life than if I didn't. Education is a painfully time-consuming process. 8 hours of school and several hours of homework and studying every day. So little free time left, except on weekends. Still, I haven't gone through anything that nobody else hasn't gone through before and it will definitely get worse in college. Learning is a lot more productive and rewarding way to spend my time than slacking off, like I would like to do.
Education is very important to me. Every since I was little, I’ve been very into school. It’s not a surprise to most people that I actually like school cause I’m a little of a nerd. School’s been very easy for me all throughout elementary school and middle school but high school has been proven more of a challenge in some areas mostly just with French 2 and math. Other than that, I’m doing fine. I think my attitude towards not really liking the class is affecting my grade, but I really do try. I think I don’t like the challenge. I’m trying to adjust my attitude about the situation but it’s still a struggle because it takes me awhile to react to change. The purpose of education in my life is to get out of school with a great amount of knowledge. Of course, I will never be done learning but just learning the basics will satisfy me. Having ‘general knowledge’ and ‘common sense’. I also want to make my parents proud because they did sacrifice a lot for the purpose of going to good schools and living a better life even though it meant that we had to move thousands of miles away. So for me, actually finishing high school and being the first in my family to go to college will be a very big accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThis is a test.
ReplyDeleteMoises Rosales
ReplyDeleteEducation is something we need to succeed and is something you need if you want to be successful in life. Without education I have no idea were I will be. Education is free in America but in most countries you have to pay. I approach education as an opportunity to become someone in life to be the first in my family to finish college and have a good paying job. I did view education as in going to school Monday through Friday and sitting at a desk and listening to someone talk but in reality its not like that. People have to wake up and realize if they don't get there education now that there going to fail in life and hit the floor hard. So education means a lot to me because without it, I will be in the streets sitting down asking people for money so education means a lot to me.
Education can mean two things for me. It can either be an opportunity or a burden. Coming from the Philippines, an American education is far and away the best opportunity I have ever been handed in my life. However, the burdens of balancing school work and personal leisure can make me ponder about whether or not I like school. The classes I have can also be a determining factor in whether I see education as an opportunity or burden. For example, in classes like English and History, I see education as an opportunity because it is what I like to learn. When I start learning something that I like to learn, I immediately see it as an opportunity because it is a chance for me to advance my knowledge in lessons that will help me become what I want in the future. In other subjects, such as math, it is more of a burden. Math is one of my least favorite subjects, and so learning the material for it is much more of a burden for me because I don't like the material and it does not have much of a role in jobs I want in the future such as being a lawyer, therefore I have less incentive for myself to put out as much effort in math as I do in other subjects. In general, I feel education is a great thing. At this point in the 21st century, education is a must for going into the workforce. However, education does not have to be like that. I feel education can be an opportunity because you can have the chance to learn what you like and actually take away something from the day to day lessons that are handed down to you. Doing the complete opposite, which is having to learn things you don't like, makes it a burden. To sum it up, education for me is a two way street. It can be a golden age for your mind to flourish in the opportunities that are presented to you, or it can be a dark age for your mind with learning you just plain don't care about.

ReplyDeleteTo me education means to gain experience and knowledge that will assist you sometime in your life. To some, education may mean earning a good grade that will allow you to get a good job and/or college. That can be true for some. But education is about learning, not memorizing information and copying it onto a paper that will decide your fate. And the information might not even help that person in their life. Since different people want different things. Getting a true education would be learning that information and being able to use it throughout their lives.
ReplyDeleteBut there are others who would see school as just a nuisance. Since it is stealing away their time that they could be spending doing other things. Those people would just be ignoring their education or barely try.
But the way people view school depends on how they treat their education. And how they view it would also depend on what they wand their occupation to be after high school. Like a writer probably wouldnt need math skills. Or a designer wouldnt need to know history. So in those classes the people might view them as useless to them. It all depends on the peoples perception.

ReplyDeleteI think education is something that is not really needed. I’m not saying it isn’t nice to feel smart but you don’t have to nesscicarily be a genius to be able to live in life. I mean just think about the people of our past that didn’t have any choice to learn anything but they still survived every single day and night. I feel like education is something that should be obligated to be done. It should be that person’s choice. If they want to learn or not that is their choice or their mistake and no others. Education should not be scared into being done it should be enjoyable and be loved to be done and want to make someone never want to finish. And you also shouldn’t try and make someone focus on one class. If you ever just devote your life to one thing you are going to go no where in life. Imagined if I devoted my whole day and week to business class? How do you think that would turn out for my other classes? I know education is way to push everyone to their limits but some people have their limits not very far from the starting line. Some people don’t have the devotion others do. Some don’t have the patience and others just don’t have the time. Your life and education should be built on creativity not on intelligence. You can be the smartest person in the world and still wouldn’t have half of the creativity of someone who never went to school at all.

ReplyDeleteTo me education is something you need to survive in the human world. I think this because if you are not educated if in the most simple of ways you can’t do anything on your own. For example, every kid that goes to school or begins being taught by their parents eventually learns how to talk in a proper manner. But with out that education you would be able to communicate with people because they would not know what your saying. Like if a Spanish speaking person was lost in a area of people who only speak English or mandarin how could they communicate to get things they need like water or food or even if they were sick. Another example would be if a person born in an urban area was taken to a wild areas, forests, or desert with no process food or showers how would they figure out how to get food or find shelter. They would not be educated or have the knowledge to survive in these areas. And without education you have no academic or street smarts. Without that how can you get a jog or go to college. How could you to know right from wrong choices if people don’t tell you what they are? That is what education means to me.

education to me is the one thing you need in life. If you dont have a education then you dont have the life you dream of. Education not only teaches you how to read and count, it teaches you how to be in life and can shape your life. If you dont go to school then not only would you not know how to count money to be the millionair but you be able to learn the skill to have friends. to me education is very important because if i fail in school my parents would treat me differantly. Education also is the gateway to my dream job of being in law enforcement. To me there is almost no way to avoide education it is all around us. When you watch t.v. you learn something from it. so in general education is something you need in life and that it helps shape both your social life and academic life.
ReplyDeleteTo me education is a key factor in order to succeed later on. Without education, then we'll be that guy that can barely speak English that we saw in that Youtube video a weeks ago. Most people take education for granted, they don' even care about it ,and aren't even motivated. Without education then you won't even try in school. Growing up in The Philippines, I barely knew what the world around me was like.Compared to most boys and girls I actually cherished education. I saw boys and girls working for there families.The primarial reason we moved to America was to have a better education. When I came to America, I was so determined to live the American dream, by embracing education. To be honest even I don't get motivated that much, but it's usually my dad who pushes my behind in the end. I think that most people that hate education and would rather stay home and sleep biggest obstacles is homework,reports,and essays. There is no easy way to accquire all the knowledge you gain through learning. Education will give you good jobs such as a doctor, lawyer, and radiologist. People say that there are billionaires that dropped out of college that makes tons of money. I think that it PURE luck that they achieved that.Always have education to have your back later on. To me the teachers who constantly challenge you everyday, giving you a variety of new things to try will always prepare you for the real life. The biggest of obstacles will always have the best rewards. FOr example you study law for ten years , but its reward is making a lot of money for the future. There is no regret in ever trying to put so much effort in education. Many people who I talk to today, that have pretty jobs that you don't want regret it for not putting so much effort in education and knowledge. I think that education is kinda like a double edged sword. You want to learn ,but you don't want to do the work. Like I said before there is no shortcut, you'll always have to study, reread, and memorize things to grasp the concept of what you're learning. Always study in all your areas of what your learning in school. Only studying in one or two will always cause you to regret it later on. If you want to proudly and loudly tell your kids your job in the future then hit the books and study. Try and try until you get it. The biggest reward in education is the hardest one to get. To me this is what education is.
ReplyDeleteEducation, to me, is a tool that people can use to reach goals. It guides you to opportunities. Education helps a person face and overcome challenges that they may be experiencing. It can help you reach any goal, whether it’s losing weight, writing a 10 page essay for Mr. Lucero’s class, doing homework, or learning a new language. Education isn’t only having the ability to write at a college level or solve a calculus equation, education is everyday knowledge and skills, which without we would be dead. Since the beginning of time, cavemen discovered that if they don’t eat they lose a lot of weight and die, so they hunted, and then they discovered new techniques of hunting and even cooking their food, they gained education from experience and practice. Education, in present times, can also contribute to a student’s future, if they have an advanced or proficient education, primarily literature. They can be given the opportunity to study at some if the best known colleges and universities in the world. Education is an essential in everyday life; it’s what helps us earn money, make positive/healthy decisions, and excel in life no matter who you are or what you wish to be in the future.

ReplyDeleteWhat education means to me is a lot of different things. Education is something people should want. A long time ago I thought education was something I could just skate though it, but it’s not like that. Education is something that people should hold on to and never let go because you are never going to stop learning. Education is everywhere, only if you choose to accept it. You can go anywhere to get an education. A true education starts when you grab it hold on for your life and never let go because it is very easy to lose your education. If you just skate though your education then you are just going to skate though life. You can do fine without an education but you are not going to go very far. The people with a education are going to do well in life and they might go on with there academic career. And that is what education is to me and how I think about education.
In my opinion education is the key to whatever it is you are yearning for or “dreaming“ about. I’ve been learning all these different things for 10 years math science English history etc. in school and I want to know more. Education to me Is very decisive, especially to my parents. They always tell me that you need education for the future and its true, we take advantage of it. Sometimes procrastination gets to me, to us but we just have to make a system to work with, in other words have a time to do your hw and to do another thing. Education is much needed for later on in life, and anywhere else. Where does learning how to write an essay or how to spell a certain word, come from? It comes from education, you always have to be willing to do something to get what you want later on in the future. That is EDUCATION. Learning is not a hard thing to do, you just have to be dedicated and always try hard for those good grades. Sometimes I hear people say that teachers are being strict about school work, and I get mad about it sometimes. Though, In my opinion that’s there job to help us young people get ready for the future. Education is the answer to everything.
ReplyDeleteEducation is very important to me, it can leave such an impact on your life in the future. Even though it might be boring as hell, but its better to suffer and learn now then to be sorry later on in the future.Sure we all go through failing tests, quizzes and even homework assignments, but that don't mean you don't hang your head down, Keep you head up because we still get credit for trying, right? I mean you still learn something even if you do get it wrong just by trying. Now if you don't make an effort in trying then you will never become successful or learn anything by just being a lazy statue. So it's always good to at least make an effort at doing something or try something new. You never know whats going to hit you later on in life. It's important to learn new things and to pay attention during your education because all that knowledge you learned from the textbook, Teachers, power point, etc. It will help you with any kind of Job your willing to take. Examples: 1.Registered Nurse; you need to be really good in all science categories 2. Accountant or Engineer; in order to become that, you need to take lots and lots of math from algebra through calculus. Thats why its important to take your education seriously and to not goof off or be a lazy butt. Not only it's my goal, but its everybody's goal. Of course everybody wants to be successful in life, graduate high school, enroll to high standard colleges or universities and get that high paying job in the end to support your family or future family. I mean that's my goal for the future. I want to make my family proud in the end when I become successful and graduate. Its better to get all that education and knowledge in your head at a early age then to be sorry as an adult and enroll to an adult school. For me, I'm a fighter. Education is related to Boxing or Muay Thai Kickboxing, if you put Geometry and boxing/Kickboxing together, you learn several different ways to strike at your opponent. Either striking him with a 45 degree hook punch, a 90 degree head kick, or even a 360 degree flying kick or back kick. You may have all that strength and power but when it comes to techniques, it will overcome Strength/power and lead you on the path to become Victorious. See how education relates to many different ways, its fun to learn new things, but in the end it can really give you a big, fat, extraordinary migraines which happens a couple times, but hey that's life. Got to accept it and move on. Parties will always be around, they come and go. But when it comes to education you cant go back and retake classes that you failed at because it will be to late. Then you will have to suffer enrolling low paying jobs like Mc Donald's or Burger King, Taco bell, Etc. This is a great time to sit down and think about how your future want be like.
ReplyDeleteThey define the word education as the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university. I agree, but I also think that you can receive education, or get smarter, in a place other than school. Anyway, education is the most important thing in life for me at this moment. There's nothing else I worry about other than my own education because I know that I need it for my future. I want to be successful in life, and in order for me to obtain success, I need an education. I want to be successful for many reasons. I want to be successful for I can provide everything for my family and take care of them, and I also want to be successful because I would make myself proud. My parents have always told me that education is the key to everything. Honestly, I believe them because education can get you anywhere in life. I worry about my education because I am honestly scared of life and I know that if I have a great education, everything will be a lot easier for my family and I. Education is important to me because education can lead me on to making a successful business, or getting a great job that I love. Therefore, it will lead to a good house and a healthy family. What I'm trying to say is that education is something you have to take advantage of. Education is something that will lead you to great things in life. Education is what will make you realize the best things in this cold world. Education is a huge part of my life. Education is the best thing that my wonderful parents have provided me with.
ReplyDeleteEducation-The act or process of educating or being educated. The knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process. A program of instruction of a specified kind or level. But to me education is all about succeeding in life. I believe this because education is one stepping stone to success. Education is a mere concept everybody worries about. I believe education and learning are two different processes. Education is forced upon ones self by a parent or biggest of all the government. Education is a norm that everybody believes that everyone in their community must have. They look down on the non-educated and shake their heads. Learning is not forced upon and it happens every single day. Learning is everywhere. Even when you don’t know it but your learning something new. Either if its in school or even on the street corner your brain is always processing new data in which it comes from your senses. To infer I believe educations should be a choice instead of being force upon.

ReplyDeleteEducation is a stepping stone to success. However not everything needs education. For example to graduate San Leandro High School you need credits in PE. If you want to be let us say a business man when would you ever need PE? If you want to be an athlete when are you ever going to need math? I think education is trying to make you all around when in reality it needs to be centered on what you want to do. Why would you take classes you don't need? Back to what education is, it is probably the only way to get a good job. Also it might dictate the way you live for the rest of your life. It also says what you do the rest of your life socially, if you do well in school and get a good job you can go on vacation a lot during the year. If you do bad, you do bad and get a bad job, you work your ass off and maybe get vacation maybe once every five years. This leads to my other point do badly in school and you will have a living nightmare and get stuck in a dead end job and then you work until you die and then no one remembers you since you probably aren't going to try and innovate and take action.
ReplyDeleteEducation to me is something in life you need to take seriously and not for granted. We should appreciate that we have the ability to be educated unlike other people in various parts of the world. We need to excel in our education to better ourselves later on in life. Some people don’t believe in higher education, not even the importance of a high school diploma. Education will help open doors to get a good job and move forward within your career field. At one point in our history woman were not even allowed to go to school. I consider myself lucky as a woman to be able to go to school and become a successful part of our society. All of this would not be possible without an education.
ReplyDeleteEducation is very important. Education is an important thing if you want to be successful in life. To me if you want to be successful you have to have a good education, because it teaches you things that might be useful for the real life. Although some material you learn in school might not be logical or useful in the profession that you want to be in, Its important to learn these basics. The goverment wants to build a foundation, so that if an earthquake happens we will still be standing, steadfast and strong. People who dont take this advantage in school, wont have the foundation, and when an earthquake happens, The thing that, that person loves the most will be left behind, in rubble. And 15 years from now I dont want to be that person, whose homeless, poor, hungry, and cold. My dreams is to have a stunning, radiant wife; a marvelous, exquisite home; and content kids. For me to acheive this dream i must be well educated, and school is the first step into acheving my dreams
ReplyDeleteI believe that education is truly everything to me. As we grow up we learn everything, how to walk, how to talk, how eat, how to shower, etc. Education is not just school but is a daily life thing. Generally, people see education as school and studying. To me education is something as simple as tying a shoe to something as complicated as learning how to a whole new language. As we grow up, even when we are out of school we will still be in education. Learning how to go throughout life as we get older. It has been seen as a requirement to other people, meaning education is just school. We often view school as education because of all the learning,but I believe we learn something everyday, whether it be off the streets or in school. I see it as something you need when you are very young that you never stop needing.
ReplyDeleteChristian olide what i think about education is that is the best thing that someone could get because its free an it would help you get were u want to go. Education is given to you so you could learn from it and could get you to go to college if you want to go. The reason you get education is to get better on every thing and to help you on ur jobs and may be getting a scholarship.
ReplyDeleteEducation to me is something serious and big. Education is your future. I think that education is something we as students and all those people out there that can go to school free should take advantage of it because not all people have this opportunity. I think if it wasn’t for education we wouldn’t have doctors, lawyers, police officers, business owners, dentist, orthodontics, teachers etc. We would all be no life’s looking for a way to get out of life. I believe education is a choice for everyone but I don’t understand why there are some that decide and take as a joke and slack off. They don’t sit and think about their future, where their education is going to take them. At times I get off task but I get right back on because one I’m going to get off track and get behind two I’m going to flunk my test and is just going to be a waste of time. I’m only 15 and I have crashed into so many thing already that I wish I haven’t. I look back to them moments and all I say is “I’m so stupid why did I do it” but I learned from my mistake. Especially, after it got to my father that I cut class. I have a very strict father and after we talked he made me realize several things so did my older brother. After the 2nd time I cut school I never did it again and till this day I don’t have it planned to do it at all. Now I learned to think twice before I do something. I want to be the child my father and mother wish for. I want to be the first to go college in my family and finish my education completely and show my dad I am not the fuck up child he thinks I am. I believe in myself and I’m not going to give up I’m going to chase my dream until I catch it. I see myself being a nurse taking care of patients, I also see myself as a lawyer but who knows maybe ill change my mind all I know is that I’m going to get a good job make good money and be someone in the world. Education is my future and I’m going to take advantage. I wish everyone had the opportunity to be educated for free and to be able to attend a university even though they don’t have papers to make their dreams come true and be successful in life.

ReplyDeleteEducation is an opportunity. It is an opportunity to ameliorate yourself to be the best that you can be. It is also a necessary requirement for a job. All the high paying, corporate jobs require a degree in the job you are trying to have. Whether it be business and administration to computer technicians, you need a degree to certify to the company you work for, that you know what you're doing. In order to know what you're doing, you need to study everything necessary in school. It is important that you have education or else you would go nowhere in life. If you think about it, living without knowing anything is not living at all. Without knowing anything, everything you do would go wrong and end up in countless mistakes. That is why we have an educational system, it is a benefit or I should say opportunity given to us to live life.

ReplyDeleteTo me education is my future.Without education i wouldn't have a future,because i think my education will be the main key to my life.Without education i would be uneducated and feel like a failure.I think it is important to go to school and pay attention,listen closely,and take actions apon your work.School is a opportunity to get educated and be a successful person and get far in life.Most people who are uneducated don't that that great of a life and i wouldn't want to be known as one of those people.I try to study as much as i can to get a better education.I look over all my school work and study after school.Some people aren't even fortunate enough to get a education so i think everyone who is lucky enough should not take it for granted and be grateful.
Education to me means oportunities.Education gives you a higher chance of becoming someone, someone that actually get somewhere important for them in life. I think we should take education seriously because it is probably the easiest face we will ever have to go throught but its one of the most importat ones because its when you learn the basics of alot of subjects that you'll need some understanding about later on. You might think history class won't help you at all I think it won't but for some reason is required some classes will help us alot in the future and some classes are not gonna help us at all but since we dont know yet who we want to be I guess we have to take some unecessary classes. Education is the basis of getting started in life education is fundemental to being succeful. You dont have to be an A student but as long as you're learning and trying your best thats good enoguh
ReplyDeleteMy speculation on education is that you start when you are young and you continue until the end of your life. So from when you start school up to your graduation you are forced to learn in class, but the truth is you learn all the time so why stop? Education is an ongoing thing that you should not discontinue just because you have a diploma. Learning is a key in life and a good portion of learning comes from school, whether it is about a subject you are taking or what someone is informing you about you are being educated. The education system around the world is corrupt because most students work for the grade not to educate themselves. They don’t realize when they end up knowing about an unfamiliar subject it is still called learning whether in school or out in the real world. Although I know from experience that you don’t need to be an A student to learn you just have to be motivated and willing to interpret information. At times I don’t worry what my grade is as long as I am learning because this can help sculpt you future into the way you want to live your life and your views on everything. But also a good portion of learning is from your surroundings so you should always pay attention. Every day of your life if you look and try to understand something you never knew that will help you obtain more knowledge for yourself. I feel like you don’t need good grades to be smart because smart people know: one that learning is for the rest of your life; two grades don’t necessarily determine your knowledge capacity and three there is nothing stupid to learn or about learning. I value education for the reason that it is something that has started with the first humans up till now, because once you completely learn something you won’t fully forget. But humans aren’t the only educated living creatures. As an example a chameleon educates itself from the beginning that when you see anything big they change colors and blend in with the back ground for humans we have to adapt and change our ways which is how learning developed. In conclusion it is inevitable to not learn on a daily basis so I cease my rambling at this if you value education you know what it means.

ReplyDeleteEducation to me is about the things we learn and what we will learn in the future. The things we learn now will be the most important in our journey on becoming successful adults. Education is an opportunity for many people because you can choose whether to take it or pass. Hopefully, you can choose the right path and go for the education because this is the one thing we will ever need in our lives. Education is essential to almost everyone.

ReplyDeleteEducation to me is my first priorty. It is the first thing that should be on peoples mind. There was a saying I heard" there is a jar u want to put all of your rocks in you put in your big rocks before your small rocks".- Ricardo Avitia. That means you put your priorities before your fun. Education gets your places not call of duty. Education is the main thing that will get you places.

ReplyDeleteEducation to me is those sleepless nights doing work. Work that may or may not help you later, but work you pioneer into the night to get finished. Education is sitting through class half asleep in a haze of boredom, thinking that what the teacher is preaching is pointless and unnecessary. It's what your parents take your phone for when they see you aren't applying it well enough. It's all these sleepless nights, long hours, and phone revocations that are crucial to your future. Education is simply an abstract collection of information that one is to use later on in life. The education one receives is simply the basis for your future. Education is, simply, crucial.

ReplyDeleteEducation means what you know or learning. it also means opportnities in life, you cant get very far in our society without any education at all. Education gets you places and it gets you thin gs in life. Educationis my future in life.
I feel as if education is life , or at least one of the most essential things for life on earth . Education is just like water . I mean we need water to live , right ? We also need education to live , because without it , we'd be just like the old cavemen that Mr. Lucero mentioned in class a few weeks ago . We need education to live because after receiving our education , we gain knowledge . We need to learn things before we know them , right ? It's not like we wake up and already know something . For instance , think about waking up for school in the morning . The only way that you'd know if you were up on time is by checking the clock . You didn't know what time it was when you opened your eyes , but you found out when you looked at the clock . The clock is a sort of form of an educator , because it has informed you of the time of the day & your teacher or parent has informed you of what time you need to be at school and also how to tell time in general . It's all a process of education & test of knowledge that we go through every single day . I know that I probably sound very weird right now , but put it like this : The process of being ' Educated ' by an ' Educator ' Is defined by the word ' EDUCATION ' . In order to gain knowledge , us humans need to be taught things . Those things start to occur when we are babies , but if there was no source of education & no easier ways of gaining knowledge , things wouldn't be so high-tech nowadays . Foe example , Steve jobs's great , great (x35) grandson would have probably announced the production of the first ipod in the year 3000 instead of 2001 . The human race would basically take a huge step back . I know that the ipod and other apple products would be viewed as modern technology , but think about how it would be for us . When and how do you think that we would have learned the more healthy ways of taking care of our personal hygiene like the ways we do today ? Lets not get into all of that , that's a whole different , messy type of situation . I'm just very thankful and proud that education is everywhere throughout the world and that i'm receiving it for free , unlike some other countries whom i feel very sorry for . Because without it , there'd be no form of hope for the future . That's what we are focused on every day that we open up our eyes . . . Our Futures - We Are The Future ! & Education is going to get us to many great places in life .
ReplyDeleteNot saying that we don't do it enough now , but we all need to take education more serious . I know that i need to take it more serious , because i'll be sitting down thinking about it when i'm old & wrinkly and i don't want to have any regrets about it .
Rest in peace Steve Jobs
Education to me is everything around us. It's a system for learning right? But the fact is no matter what we're learning about it's still learning and we learn about new things constantly. It's a process to show people's growth mentally, physically, and emotionally. It tests our strengths and weaknesses. Education is part of life. No matter how hard people try to get out of it most people wont. Like I said we learn everyday. Some people love it and some people hate it. Some people grasp that advantage of excelling their potential. Those people are ones that are most likely to succeed. For this reason is because the take action, they're determined, and they try to meet deadlines at all times. Education shows our future ahead of us. It shows where we are gonna be in life and how we are gonna be excepted. Learning equals education. Education equals to daily notions. Daily notions equals life. The cycle of education can not outgrow anybody. Education is the key to life.
ReplyDeleteEducation means the world to me. With out education people would be milling mindlessly around with out a purpose. Education is a gateway to millions of opportunities and a bright future. A lot of my peers don't see education in the same light as others. Based on your level of maturity is how seriously you take your education. Teenagers don't see it as something that will benefit them. But I know for a fact that if I do not take advantage of what is given to me me now I will regret it in the future. A good education is the greatest tool or weapon you can ever find. The impact it has on your life is substantial. I know for a fact that i do not take my education as seriously as I should and that is something that must be changed immediately. I know that if i get a proper education now I will be set for life.
ReplyDeleteEducation to me is the success of everyday life. Without education people can't live there lives in normal ways. Education can help you with work, school and for your future children that will need help from you one day. Education is either a pass or fail in life.

ReplyDeleteI was born in American Samoa and i think the only reason i came to America is to get a good education. To me it means that my parents cared about me because we could of stayed in American Samoa and never have the opportunity that i have today to have a brighter future. Education is also important to me so that i can play football one day, because everybody knows that football and education go hand in hand. Back in my country you don't need education to play rugby, but in America is not the case. The final reason education is important is so that i can get a good job that i would to do and wake up every morning feeling good. Education means a lot to my parents but most of all me, i do it for myself so i wouldn't be the one in the street asking for money.
