Why College Education Is Important To Me
“In our modem society employers are looking for people who have the most to offer and this is why a higher education is more valuable than gold” (Torres 2012). This quotation is why college education is important to me because it is the key to opening doors to better career opportunities and higher earnings. I want to better my life and make my daughters proud of me. “They are my inspiration to go back to school” (Guthrie, 2011). I believe that if my children see me working hard on my education, that will be motive for them to do the same and reach all their goals and succeed in their lives. In other words, the benefits of education are endless.
To begin with, education is primordial; a person without education will be lost due to society’s demands. It means the good opportunities are waiting for people who have higher education. I would like to share with you an anecdote of myself that relates to what I believe. Nine years ago, the agency Neighbors in Need of Services, Inc. promoted me to teacher because I had more than 50 credit hours of Early Childhood on my Associate Applied Degree. I accepted my new position even though I did not have enough experience to have a full day class. Becoming a teacher meant more responsibilities with children, parents, and co-workers, not to mention, all the paper work that a teacher does on each child’s folder. I cried because I was afraid of changes. But after all, I accepted my new job and I started to get a higher salary. These changes came because I had some college education and N.I.N.O.S. has to be in compliance with state regulations. Ninos, Inc. helped me with grants to continue my education and I graduated on May 14, 2003. Since my graduation in 2003 there have been many changes at N.I.N.O.S. A Bachelor’s Degree is now a requirement to be a
