Education

 education in America is valuable? Why? To what extent do you think education is valuable in your own life? Explain. Use what you read and what you heard in class to support your response.

Education is valuable because most people struggle through poverty because lack of education.  Education benefits your life because it helps you get a good job and good living for the future.  It gets you where you want to be in life. For instance Huey P. Newton from the black panthers party first started of getting kicked out of high school and going to jail, but he self taught himself and became successful and was a big part in the civil rights movement.  So you cant really go anywhere without an education.
Education is valuable in my own life because it will guide me to pursue what i want to be in the future. And it will help me reach my goal which is to be able to provide in the future. With the responses from the things i heard in class it, what i got from it is that you have to be independent and motivated to be successful. You cant just expect your professor or teacher to teach in the way your comfortable with. You have to be selfless and ready to learn. Its your education, its your life, and what do you want to do with it? Education in my perspective now then what i thought before, it goes beyond extent its truly important in your life.  Education is knowledge, knowledge is power. I think that knowledge and your education is just only in the class room. Its every where in life, you have to apply to your. For instance, how are you going to survive in the wilderness with no food or shelter? How are you supposed to drive a plane when the captain dies? How are you supposed to solve a math problem to disable a bomb? How are you going to find your way around if you don't know how to read a map? Or know the chemicals in a substance? Education goes a lot to the everyday things in life.
