The Purpose of Education

            Everyone needs education but only few comprehend its true value. A wise man once said, "The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows." Education is not just preparation for life, education is life itself. It is the power that gives us the ability to learn and teach everything with logic and a way to reason why the other things are illogical. Education allows us to become independent, to develop a passion in something you excel and to satisfy the ones who only pray for your wellbeing and happiness.
             "The greatest gifts we can receive are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence." said Denis Waitley. We should all be thankful for the education we are being given because it's not only educating us about the Pythagorean Theorem but it's expecting us to rise as individuals and do the work that we are assigned on our own. It may be boring and seem like a repetitive routine but it teaches you that you have to do things life on your own where others aren't there to help you. That's the stone you have to step on, the stone which can pave a path to standing on your own two feet. High school gives a little nudge of what being independent is but once we get to university, it's a hard push and that's why it gets extremely difficult there. You are taught a lesson on which you have to go home and work endless hours because the professor didn't teach you how to do all the problems or he didn't teach you the details of the particular theory. The point is that no one is going to baby sit you and make sure you complete that chemistry lab due tomorrow. It's a hard hit and if you can take that hit and keep going then you my friend are on the road to becoming independent. .
             If you are struggling and are consistent in what you want to achieve then sooner or later you will learn to survive this world without anyone's help. Your parents are excluded because they are the only two people in this world that truly care about you so they will always try to help you regardless of you wanting it or not.
