Education means much more to me than better opportunities, finding and exploring your passion, and expanding your knowledge. It’s the personal effects of education that makes it worthwhile. It is the challenges and struggles of learning education that makes it significant enough to delve into the soul and plant logical facts that drives you every day to know more. It proves to be a powerful measure when the mind begins to expand  ready to fill an insatiable natural thirst to just know.

Most importantly, education is a weapon and a shield to protect yourself from making the same mistakes. It is to build from the old and make do with the new. Education helps eases the anxiety of not knowing what to do and provides a way for you to do what you need to do. Repeats can be stopped and progress made to better further the world we live in. The purpose of education is to better ourselves.

Education also provides invaluable experiences, thoughts, and skills that would probably not likely develop without it. You gain powerful insight into how to be your own individual, using knowledge as a magnifying glass to understand the world, and learning how to form bonds with others.
