Education



Your dumb!!!Have you ever felt so disappointed and embarrassed in yourself when someone lends you a book to read but you can’t read it? Today in the society heaps of people still don’t know how to read and write. We believe that education is the key to achieve education goals and successfulness in life, because if you don’t complete our education your family will struggle in life with money, food and raising a family, that's why you need to find a good job by completing your education, get good money, get good food and good clothes. When you have all these things, good education, and a good job you will be  able to pay your own house bills and keep your family in shape. Also you can be able to get better education for your children and generations to come. 

School is very important! Go to school learn as much as you can and don’t leave an energy working. Now lets look at what happens when you don’t have a good education or you drop out of school. The possibilities of a good life when you drop out of school and you don’t have a job is you’ll be on the run from the police rob stores and houses or end up in the streets starving to death with a criminal record.


First of all, to achieve in school, we need to participate in class even if its boring or not interesting. For example, get information from your teachers and others as much as you can. You don’t know, after 5 or 6 more years you can get an University degree and study any of your favourite subjects in the future.


Furthermore,  to “Working Hard” why? Because you can get a good job. In addition, you'll work hard to accomplish goals and always make your name and family name proud when you reach the level of master degree in anything you do. Family is also important in education. If you don't have a good family e.g


Equally important,  get a good job. For example, get money and buy resources for your family when they need it. Furthermore, raise your family in a positive way, always, and I mean always provide healthy good food on the table and most importantly a shelter above their heads.


In fact, if you accomplish your education goals you will have a successful life in future, you can be anything you want if you put your mind to it. If you work hard you won’t have to struggle in life and raising a family wouldn't be such a pain. Listen to what your parents and teachers say about school because their education wasn't as good as ours, your parents goals are to achieve the best for you. Your parents are only concerned for education and . Just imagine if everyone in the world had a successful great education, we would have a great world with people being able to afford the good things in life instead of being poor, we would have jobs not guns, knifes and trying to rob a bank.


Quotes: “Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.”  ~Will Durant.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
~Nelson Mandela.
Quotes from great leaders can put a lot of impact in your life, not bad impact but it could be a great impact. The message is, anyone can be anything if you set your mind, heart and all your effort into it. So take care and go hard in your learning and everything you do.
