What does education mean to you?

Education means setting myself up for the future so that I am able to make myself

financially stable and prepared. It is good for me to go to high school and get an education,

because I am gaining life skills that I will use for college and beyond. Education will help me to

build up a resume and set me up for life after I graduate.

Education mean opportunity. The opportunity to take the skills taught to me by the fine

teachers of this district and use them in my everyday life to further myself. Education means

hope. Hopeful that I can use these skills everyday to further myself. Education

I will be able to use the education I gained in high school to put towards my studies in

college. These skills will go towards teaching myself how to live my life on my own and make

my money so I am able to enjoy the finer things in life. Getting an education means I will be able

to afford to do things such as drive racecars and go out to concerts or things such as that.

Education means providing for your family and doing good with your life. It is important

because in our society education is viewed as necessary if you want to further your social or

professional status. Many employers look to hire those who graduate at the top of the class or

who have been at college the longest, and unfortunately that does not always result in the one

who is best suited for the job.

A big part of my family is going racing, and that is very expensive, so an education to me

means learning enough to get a job where I can afford to make enough money to drive racecars.

That is the most important part of getting my education besides providing for my future family.
