Education is the best gift that a parent can give to his child. Before we see education as an exclusive thing that is only for the elite people who can afford to send their child or even their children to school but now everyone see it as an opportunity to have a good life and living in the future. Parents tried their best just to send their child to school because most of the people believe that through having a good education is equivalent to have a good job in the future. Through education a person acquired and developed his knowledge, skills and attitude that will help him to do and finish his task, responsibilities and work on a given time.
A person is not a fully human if he or she is not educated. It is important like the basic needs of a person like food, clothe and shelter. In education we are taught the basic things in life like to write, read, speak, listen, count and solve numbers, and think. In education we are taught how to think and act morally and develop as a holistic person that has mind, heart and soul to everyone and anything that surrounds him or her.
Through education only one can make separate identity. We are taught and bombarded with different ideas ad thoughts of famous people, feelings and emotions, issues and problems in the society through this we are develop our own personality – our own identity on how we see people and things around us and how we deal and approach them through the things that we learn. We learned to fully understand the things around us through being educated.
Knowledge is power. Education allows us to think critically and solve our own problems or even others too. In this modern times we are obliged to think and act like one to deal with the new phase of the world – modernize. Just like educators, we are obliged to cultivate and refresh and renew and revise our learning because learning is a continuous process and the learning that we have must link to the phase where we are now. Revising and renewing our knowledge will help us to communicate and understand with teens especially our students.
However, some people who are having financial problem they tend not to appreciate the importance of education in their life. They prefer not to send their child to school and instead they let it to find a job which violates the right of a child to be educated. While for some people who did not finish their education they find a job and use their skills acquired or nurtured, and some of them were successful and billionaires now a days.
To sum it up, education makes us to be knowledgeable in mind, heart and soul. A person cannot be called an educated person if he is not using his mind to think, heart to feel and soul to act on issues that surrounds him. Education lightens up our path to success it is up to us if we will go along with the path or tried the other side of it.
