Education is a Stepping Stone to Bettering Yourself and the World by Katerina - July 2019 Scholarship Essay

To have an education is like having the world at your fingertips. The knowledge granted to an individual through education is unparalleled to any other aspect a person can posses. My passion for education is greater than just an understanding of numerous topics and ideas, but it is also the foundation that my life rests upon. Without my education, I would not be a helpful part of this society. My goal in life is to leave this world in better shape than when I entered into it. I believe education is the first stepping stone to accomplishing any goal you have set. Education provides insight- insight into other cultures, historical periods, numbers, and so much more. However, with my college education quickly approaching me, I am, now, more than ever, immensely excited to further by education. I am intrigued by crime and the psychology behind the crime, but I also have many more passions that I wish to keep educating myself about. High school was the spark I needed to figure out what topics and subjects I am truly interested in. And, I am truly blessed to have been able to attend school from five years old to eighteen, and now to further my education even farther at the school of my dreams. I realize how incredibly lucky I am to have such a great education and have such a vast knowledge of many topics, as I know many women in other countries are not allowed the same. So, with the platform I was given as a woman able to obtain any education she wishes to pursue, I feel it is my duty to share the knowledge I've acquired with others that aren't given the same educational opportunities as I have and will have. My passion for education isn't simply a quest looking to quench my knowledge, but it is also a means in which I can communicate with people all around the world. Lastly, my parents always told me to never stop learning, as there is always something new and exciting to discover in this world. My education won't simply stop after my years of college are up, as I will always pursue my education and strive to reach my full potential through a life long journey of learning.
