16. Importance of Education? Essay on
Education
By: Priyanka Nagrale

17. Countless words are written daily about the
importance of education. Indubitably,
education is the only valuable asset humans
can achieve. Human evolution over eons is a
result of education both formal and informal.

18. Further, education is the sole basis on
which future of the human race depends.
Our quest for knowledge is unending and
will continue till planet Earth exists.

19. Everyone speaks about education and its
importance. Hence, let us understand
what defines education. Briefly,
education means acquiring knowledge.

20. In broader terms, education means acquiring
various skills in diverse fields that are vital to
our life and very existence. These skills can be
acquired by classroom training and during
course of our life.

21. Classroom education is generally deemed
as formal education. Whatever we learn
and imbibe during our lifespan is
informal education.

22. Furthermore, knowledge and the innate
human capability to learn continually
distinguish us from other living creatures
that inhabit this planet.

ASSIGNMENT

24. I believe that creating a cohesive, vibrant community that unites both
the young and the old is important to nurturing the growth of
individuals. I believe that community artworks are the anchors of this
community, creating and maintaining this sense of community.
Therefore, I believe that works of art, visual and otherwise, should be
created and supported by members of a community as important
reminders and symbols of cohesive community.
Sofia Gabriel

25. I believe that every child has potential. Regardless of race, socioeconomic class, or
IQ, every child has the ability to contribute to our world. It can be intellectual-- the
next brilliant math or physics theorem, the next great poem of our time-- it can be
athletic-- representing fair play and competition-- it can be artistic-- a song, a dance,
a play. Every child has potential. No child is confined by where they live, who their
parents are, what society expects of them. Every child can contribute something
beautiful to our world. It can be a smile, a laugh, one good thought. That is all it
takes to change someone's life.
