So, do you believe that education is absolutely essential in a modern society? Being education make a significant difference in someone’s life?
Education is a process of learning and acquiring knowledge in school from teachers, gain knowledge at home from parents, family and even acquaintances. Education is the key to allow people to move up in the world, looking for better jobs, and succeed in life. Education is one factor that affects job positions people hold, prior to further their career, income and they do, and the title they hold. The more educated a person is, the more prestige and authority of the person.
However, unfortunately, we have places in the world where not everyone has the opportunity or the chance to get formal education. India is among the countries where a high proportion of people who are illiterate. Almost 55% of the population in India is illiterate. In part, because most of the country lives in villages and not in the cities, where education is more prevalent. Most of them live in villages spend the majority of their time in cultivating crops and harvest their fields and do not find it necessary to be educated in order to harvest their fields or doing household chores. The girls living in villages marry at a young age and later get busy with family and doing chores. According to Indian belief, girls generally marry at a young age and are advised to stay home and take care of the home instead of studying or working. That is why the lot of parents in India are worried that their daughter married rather than her education. I can give you an example in my own life. When I was in India I wanted to get more education and fulfill my dream. On the contrary to what society thinks, I wanted to pursue my career in the health care field to serve my own community. The support from my family, especially my grandfather gave me the strength to keep my dream alive. I was 18 years old when we moved to the United States, and the transition to a country that is different culturally, academically and politically was not easy. I did not know what I could do with my life when I came to the United States. The transition was difficult for my parents as well. The need to find a company, caring about the education of my siblings and me and adjust to the new environment was definitely challenging. After doing most of the universities in India, it was hard for me to start my college education. My dad’s brother, a doctor, inspired me to keep my dream alive to pursue a career in medicine. I began my studies at a community college, where I struggled most of the class in the first year of education was different than the one I used. I joined clubs and other organizations in college to know more about medical jobs. I got the knowledge I need to chase a career in medicine but still, I had never experienced how things are in the real world of medicine. I’ve done everything I could to help me to fulfill my dream. I am now Emergency Medical Technician and I enjoy working in allied health.
I think education is very important not only to succeed in one’s life, but better educated population plays an important role in making people more successful and well-rounded. Receiving formal education is important, but to be successful in life, informal education is necessary. One can learn English, history, math, science in school, and be a “book-smart”. Furthermore, one can learn how to live life by knowing what to say when working in a certain way in a given situation, and be “street-smart”. You can have all the “book” knowledge of the world of a certain profession, but if you do not know how to behave with your colleagues and your superiors but have “book” knowledge will not take you too far. For example, if you are a doctor by profession, you have all the knowledge about the world of medicine and know a lot about health care, but if you do not have bed side manners and do not communicate well with your patients, colleagues and the people, but that’s the point to all “book” knowledge. To succeed in life and reach a point in life where people respect you for what you are is what makes the difference, because at that point you excel in both formal and informal education. Education is very important and no one should be deprived of it.
