Prompt: Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.
A student may say it’s a prison, another may say it’s a place to learn. School is all about the learning. Students may think it’s a waste of time, however it’s not. Their parents care for their education and wants them to have a better future. I wouldn’t know anything about the world we live in without school. I wouldn’t know how this world started, how it changed over time, etc. Learning new things everyday helps you keep in mind that school isn’t such a bad place. Keeps me going from doing inappropriate things, learning what’s right and what’s wrong, and helping you to decide what is better for my future.
School teaches you a lot of things. It isn’t just learning ABC’s and 123’s. School allows my mind to explore. It teaches me to use my mind and my knowledge to improve my life. For example, english helps you fix your grammar when you’re trying to write an essay, or gives you better word choices along the way. Math helps you solve difficult problems just like in real life. You go through hard obstacles and try to find a solution along the way.
Education is really a big impact in my life. It leads me to a better future. It shows me how important to know all of the information you learn in school. It teaches you manners, how to be responsible for your own learning, it gives you options. Options to whether or not you want to be a successful person or an educated person. I can’t imagine someone living without an education. Like in the past, children had to work, trying to survive in the conditions that they had. I’m blessed to have a life where education is free. Where we learn to make better choices, going to school and learning the basics that I need to know in life before getting a job and helping my family.
I want to live a better life. Get a great job that can help me make a difference in myself. My dream is to become a pediatrician. Watching teachers help other students made me want to help others to, just not in a learning way, but to heal others and help them get better. Taking care of little kids are the best. I love little kids so much. School taught me to take care of myself, help others and just to be yourself. It also taught me to be a better person. Compare the person that I was before, High school really taught me well. I was just a normal girl, just trying to have fun. Slacking off in school then high school hit me. I now know that education is important in life. It’s teaching me a life lesson, to be that better person I want to be. To be the one that everyone likes.
