A new school year is coming, which means back to learning and studying! Although that might sound like a dreadful time, I hope after reading this article, you will change your mind about school because of EDUCATION MATTERS.

There is so much power in knowledge and the more you know, the more you are able to be open-minded and understand the world. In each book that you read, and in each lecture that you listen to, there is always something to learn. Sure there are issues and missing parts in our education system, but that shouldn't stop you from learning from other resources, such as books, movies, documentaries, research, and even experiences of others.

As I am growing older and into my last year of college, there is nothing I value more than this opportunity to learn.

Education matters. What you know and what you can apply to this world matters. Education is not just about grades, resume, and status, but truly what you can bring to your community and to those around you.

There is a delicate quote from Dr. Seuss that I believe really explains everything in such a short sentence - " The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
