Question

How has your education contributed to who you are today?

Answer 1

Ans) As I have gotten older, and inevitably matured, I cannot doubt that indeed, my education has made pivotal contributions towards my life. School is a learning experience, obviously in the curriculum, but also in society, in essence, you "find" yourself in a school environment, you find out your likes and dislikes, what types of people you like to interact and share time with, and may be even what career choice to follow. Education has made me less ignorant every day, learning basic moral principals like respect, and treating others the way you would like to be treated. My education has taught me to stop drop and roll during a fire, and how a literary period is determined through the eyes of those writers who inhabited the world at that time. So in the scheme of life so far, I'd be lying if I said my education had not enlightened me, wouldn't you?

My education has contributed to who I am today because it has made me a more knowledgeable person, which, in my eyes, makes me a better person. I'm a better person not because I have the ability to solve a mathematical equation, but because I have the ability to use my knowledge to make the lives of others better. For example, my education will give me the opportunity to become a United States voter, being able to make wise and educated decisions on the future of our country. My education has also contributed to the quality of my work ethic, because I have been taught to "pursue pride and excellence in everything that I do," so that when I do pursue my career, I will excel, and I will have pride in what I have accomplished.
An education for all children is one of the many great commodities that sets this country apart from other countries. Why would an education be so important though? Why would the U.S. invest so much money for human capital? Because It's for our best interest, we are the future inhabitors of this country, and this country's most precious commodity, and an education is getting us ready for the future market. Education has contributed to who I am today because it has made me a better person.
