The Importance of Education

Education is a lifelong process; in fact, it is the only process that you can begin with your birth and carry with you for the rest of your life. Therefore, it is crucial to find meaning and recognition in those aspects of your life that are there to teach you. Education does not only have to be found in a classroom, surrounded by chalk dust and sharpened pencils. Education can, and should be, everywhere.



Traditional education through academia is imperative in the journey of one’s life. There you will be introduced to the world of wonder: having virtually every subject, resource, and material at your fingertips. School is a foundation of truth and curiosity, provided that you let it be so.



In addition to traditional education, learning should not arrest there. A doorway into a world that exists for one’s own fostering and progression, school is just the beginning.



"I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way."


-- Thomas Jefferson




The wealth of education is upon you, it is within each one of us wrestling to get out and discover the world. Knowledge is the key to a happy and successful existence, with a bright splash of perspective and motivation, your educational pursuit can take you anywhere.

This is true, Ryan. Sometimes people discover education late in their life because they're too busy focusing on bigger details without realizing that education is actually everywhere. When we're at school studying all these subjects, we are being prepared for the real world where more knowledge can be attained. Perhaps without education, one will never find the meaning of life.
