My View of Education by Mackenzie

My View of Education by Mackenzie - April 2015 Scholarship Essay

I feel that the purpose of education is to make sure that we will constantly grow, and create a positive influence in our world. This is important because if we as a society are uneducated, then there will be no scientific, educational, or technological advances. If we put no importance on education then we would not have most of the technology or medicine that we have now. We would also be lacking as a human race, because prejudice and racism would not have been overcome at this point in time.

It is important to educate our future generations because we are constantly changing our society, and it is important for us to keep up. With the world being so large, and the populations constantly growing, it will only be so long before more environmental and economic problems occur, and it will be up to the future generations to solve these problems.

Education is also important to the individual because in our society today, people need to be educated to be successful. As a high school student, I am constantly being told that I need to go to college and get a degree because college graduates make more money than people who have only completed only high school, and that college graduates usually have a better standard of living. This is why education is important to me, and why it should be important to everyone.
