Education by Emily - April 2015 Scholarship Essay

In my opinion, education is the key to a better life. To gain knowledge is a privilege, and we take it for granted every day. Every day we learn something new and we never knew. To learn and receive education is a gift and we should receive it with open arms.

Getting an education does not mean getting a degree or something similar. Getting an education means you further deepen your knowledge of the world and the society around you. The purpose of an education is to learn because you want to, not because you are forced to do so. A person should be able to obtain an education without being question about getting a degree. They want to learn more. They have a thirst for knowledge. Who are we to keep that away from them?

Furthermore, getting an education gets you farther in the world. With an education you tend to receive better jobs, better treatment and a better lifestyle. With an educated brain you tend to think more responsible and evaluate your choices. You tend to make few mistakes and you are efficient with your work.

Getting an education not only means improving your knowledge but also improving your life.
