Education is the Key by Kimberly

Education is the Key by Kimberly - December 2014 Scholarship Essay

Education has really changed who I am today because it has helped me think about how my future will be. If I weren't for education I would probably be living in the streets or working at a fast food restaurant where you don’t get paid that much. Education has really helped me think about my future and what I want to be when I graduate from a four year university.

I remember when I was younger that I would never want to wake up for school or go to school but my mom always made me even if I cried. I’m a junior and still sometimes today I don’t want to go to school but I know that I must get an education. I remember my mom telling me that if you don’t go to school then don’t plan on being rich because a good career only comes from a good education. When I don’t want to go to school I always think of my mom telling me this because right now my parents are having trouble paying payments and bills and I know they don’t want me to be like them.

When my career starts taking off I want to give back to my parents because through all the struggles they have they always manage to get what my brothers, my sister, and I want. My parents are who motivates me to keep going to school and never quit. They taught me that education will give you a good life.

Education can really help shape your life if you let it. Don’t think it won’t because it will. Think about your future and how you’re going to get there because you I can bet you that you won’t get there without an education.
