Believing That You Can
Education, You Must Have It
To me education is the key for our life in a society. It is
the learning of skills, from fundamental to advanced level
that we all need without a doubt for our future in the
community. Without an education, we cannot move
forward. We need to make an effort to learn. Basically,
everybody must go to school to learn how to read, to write,
and to understand how to do math.
Education, in the broad sense, is any act or experience
that has a formative effect on the character or ability of an
individual. I think that the culture of a person in a country
rests on his or her educational experience. It is not only
teachers who should encourage the students to get an
education, it is also the responsibility of parents, the
community, and every adult. It is true for me that if I have
more education, I will get a better job. The best way to
become somebody in life is to prepare oneself. I remember
when I went to school, my heart was full of hope to do
something. If we are bored to learn when we are in school,
we will get nowhere. Be mindful that there are many people
living in the U.S. and they come from different countries.
Several of the people I know are earning minimum wage
because they do not have enough education or no education
at all. I am very happy that at the moment that I am in class.
I meet many different students who do not speak the same
language. My instructor teaches only in English to
everybody. Every time I go to school, I learn more new
words. It is good for me because it is applicable for my
work. I would like all students come to class and get an
education. We will be better prepared to serve this country.

The Experience
Trying to make a difference in my life is so hard these
days. To experience being a single mother while having no
parents around to guide me and tell me how things work has
been an extreme challenge. They are both gone and I miss
my mom so. I have been strong, I always say, "Don’t give
up!" So I’ve tried several times to finish high school
