Why Education Is Important To Me
An Essay Written by MLC Student, Kaphia H.
At the age of fifteen I found myself not taking enough interest in my school work. I was hanging out with bad company, behaving badly and neglecting my work. I ended up getting pregnant. After having my baby, being on my own, paying bills and working, I realized that education is important to me.
Education will help me to be a better mother for my child by giving him the education he deserves. For instance, I would be able to answer his questions, help him with his homework, and teach him how to build up his vocabulary so that in the future he can be able to communicate better.
If I am not educated, I would not be eligible to have a better career or life. For example, being Correctional Officer is something that I would like to do. Without an education, I could not have the opportunity to get a tremendous salary, which would allow me to buy the resources that my family, friends, and I need, such as clothes, food, and extra recreational things.
Education is a significant influence in helping to make me a better woman for today, tomorrow, and the future. For instance, education will allow me to be a role model for people by sharing knowledge with my coworkers, families, and other associates. In addition, with a proper education I will be able to encourage teenagers by telling them my mistakes, and how being educated can help them to overcome their challenges.
Education is like a fisherman's net. Without the net, the fisherman cannot catch anything. Without education, I cannot be a marvelous mother for my child, I would not be eligible to have a better career or life, and I would not be able to be a role model.
