Despite the fact that most people encourage everyone to continue their education after high school, some people believe that getting a higher education isn't necessary. While I respect a different opinion from my own, I want to inform them why school should be important to us all.


1. You are more prepared for life

If you get college degree, you will have more job opportunities because you are more knowledgeable. When employers look at candidates to hire, they focus on your college education.

2. Without school, we would not have doctors, engineers, employers, schools, and pretty much everything that we have

This point explains itself. Who would take care of you if we had no doctors? Who would hire you if we have no employers? Who would educate your kids if we didn’t have teachers in our schools? Education is what solves all our problems and what makes everything easy for us. Someone has to do these jobs and it's imperative that they are educated enough to do them.

3. You can reach your career goals through school

Continuing your education gives you the chance to reach your goals and to get hired at the place you desire. School helps you reach your goals in life and helps you become a successful person, both financially and personally.

4. You’ll be financially more satisfied

You can make much more money with a college degree and you will have a better chance to get the job of your dreams with higher pay. The more education you have, the more money you will make. Money is not everything, but when you are financially stable, you are not likely to face hard situations in life such as paying bills or acquiring any debt.

5. You will have a better life style

If you want a job and can’t get it, most of the time it's because you don’t have a degree for that job. When you get that degree, you can get the job you have been dreaming of.

6. Education also builds self confidence

In college, you are exposed to a variety of topics and situations you can get involved in. This helps you overcome many of the fears that you may have and as a result, you can become more confident and knowledgeable.

7. You will work at the job you actually want and enjoy

Obviously, you study what you like. This means you will get a job you worked so hard for and once you get that job, it won’t feel like you’re going to work because it will be something you wanted your whole life. The hardest situation is having to work at a job where you feel you have to work and it isn’t what you really want, so continuing your education by getting a college degree will help you get your dream job.


So, education is the key. Continuing school will be nothing but beneficial to you. Through education, you will have many opportunities waiting for you and you will have a set life. The prime favor you can do for yourself is giving yourself the opportunities to be the best version of yourself and education will definitely help you reach this goal.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
