Have you ever been asked what you want to be when you grow up? The thought of becoming a firefighter, policeman or woman, doctor, astronaut, architect, etc. All of these dream jobs seem so wondrous and exciting to have one day, but how do you expect to get this job without a high degree of education? Continuing your education is highly important and can benefit you in many ways in the future. Gaining knowledge and paying attention in class can help you learn plenty of new things that can be useful in future jobs such as becoming a doctor. Each class you have benefits and prepares you in their own ways. For example science class is a great class that'll prepare you for becoming a doctor.

You do not want to live a life full of challenges day and night, without an education, life will be full of much more challenges than usual and it will not be much fun. You want to be happy with your lifestyle and job, not sad and wishing for something new, something better. And by continuing your learning by going to school everyday can really help you gain more and more knowledge the further you go with your education.
