Education is a very important role in our lives. Everyone has been being educated since the day they were born. There is a rapidly growing demand for a higher education in the world today. Although a higher education is difficult to receive, the rewards of self-improvement, job insurance, a development of character, and social improvements etc satisfy individuals. Sure it is hard to attain formal education longer, but learning for personal knowledge greatly improves individuals. Individuals learn skills like problem solving which will teach them to figure things out for themselves. A better education will also gain individuals’ experience. Individuals would never know what they liked or did not like if they never had a chance to experience it. If one doesn’t know how to make educated decisions, s/he will never be content with herself / himself. How good does it feel to outsmart someone when an individual applies what s/he have been taught or have been able to help somebody just from the education which s/he received? Knowledge is a very powerful thing that can change the lives of others and self.
