 Education as your treasure

Nowadays, we noticed that the more the population arises the more uneducated arises too. There are many reasons why these phenomena happened, maybe because of the lack of concerns from the government or from the system of the family itself. Education as we all know is a very important element in every person. Due to education, we can have better chances to succeed. Though we could not generally said that because of education we became rich, because there are some who did not finish even in their high school diploma and yet became one of the luxurious persons on earth, it actually depends on whatever strategy you mastered in becoming rich and famous.

Education as the old age said, is your only treasure no one can get from you. Yes it is certainly true, because education will help you settle for a good job ahead. Though it would not practically give you all the things you want in life, but at least it would not let you down to the fullest. It is your bludgeon towards success. Becoming rich and famous is a better chance when you have diplomas within your reach. As we all know, people who became Presidents of their own country have earned a lot of learning and education during their previous days. Business men also became rich and famous because they applied their learning from school in their real life. Though some did not reach the peak of their strategy, at least most of the educated people are bound of having a good job with them.

What else education can give you? Well there are many, you notice people who are degree holders are more mature and when talking about debate they are professional to butt in, they know how to control their temper when they are angry and they know better what are correct and not in every circumstances they may be facing. The attitude they have is a good factor for business firm who are looking for professionals. When you are involved in a big business firm and well educated, you are also well respected with the people around you. No one will dare to brag you since you have things you can also boast off. You see earning education gives big benefit for you.

We might admittedly find out that involving in education is quite boring and sometimes a boredom from us because of its hard projects aside from the expensive tuition fees. These things currently will be the hindrances why some feel lazy in continuing school. They hate the daily discussions and the assignments plus they think of the long-long years to finish it. Due to these factors, they tend to quit school and preferred to work in some fast food chains or to whatever vacant positions that suits their capability. Since they find that they can grab salaries out in their needs. Without thinking that they can have a better job ahead after schooling, it would be a great feeling and worth the while thinking of wearing your graduation gowns and holding your diploma upon graduation, education is a better stepping stone to succeed.

 The Wonderful World of Kindergarten

EDUCATION is a process from childhood to adulthood. Thus, education can be fairly divided into primary education, secondary education, tertiary education and higher education. Nursery, Kindergarten and Elementary fall under primary education of course. In nursery, toddlers as young as two years old are taught manners in interacting with other kids. They are also slowly taught a few basic lessons like the alphabet, arithmetic, the size and shape of a certain object, etc. During their very first day of school, kindergarten students are grouped together in the classroom. They are then read a story by the teacher. Each of the students has a book of course which shows very elaborate pictures of the story. Other schools flash multimedia presentations in computer screens where each student has his or her own computer. Then the story is narrated. To conserve on resources, some of these schools use a projector while the story is being narrated by a live person i.e. the teacher.

Remember that the very first day of school for your child will have a tremendous impact on him or her so the very first day in nursery or kindergarten school must be crucial. If you want, you can take a day off and monitor your child during his or her first day of school. As a dad or as a mom, you’ll really be looking forward to that I’m sure. The most recommended story to read to students during their very first day of school is The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. The fable chronicles a raccoon’s nervousness in going to school. His mom, in a very understanding manner, slowly explains to him that going to school is meeting new friends, having new experiences and exploring lots and lots of things. The story culminates with the raccoon, finally convinced to go to school, bids goodbye to his mom and kisses her hand.

During the first day of school, students are also enticed to form a circle. They then will introduce their first names, describe themselves and describe the person to their left and to their right. This activity takes about an hour. Then students will then have their snacks. During this point, parents, guardians and teachers must observe which students share snacks or go about in groups but still eat their snacks individually or which of the students are loners. Some kindergarten schools go to the extent of even employing child psychologists to assess the students in their first day of school.

There are several reading strategies employed by the kindergarten school and the teacher during subsequent activities. These are used if each student has a copy of a book. In echo reading, a teacher reads the story sentence by sentence. The students will then follow in a chorus. In choral reading, the story is read both simultaneously by the students and the teacher. There’s another reading technique wherein the teacher reads a phrase and the students supply the next phrase by reading in a chorus from their individual books. Kindergarten is really fun!

 Education is a poor man’s best weapon to succeed

Poor man's weapon

For a very poor man who cannot enjoy the luxury of life and who thirsts for something new, something different, the life that he doesn’t experience yet – education could be his best weapon to quench his hunger for a good life. Like many education experts say ‘education liberates man,’ anybody who has acquired a college diploma has big chances of changing his life.

Although good education does not guarantee a good life in the future but at least you have the edge to get to high paying jobs and opportunities if you are a holder of a college diploma. Why do I said this ? Because majority also of those who became millionaires do not even finish college - some are high school drop outs while others are only in primary education. But if you finish a four-year degree course at least you will not find it difficult to look for job opportunities. That is why many of the people around the world are employees because they all finish certain degree courses. In the corporate world, those who graduated college have big chances of getting hired because they are what big companies are looking for. Those who have no college diplomas are forced to get odd jobs like selling newspapers, buy and sell business and all forms of jobs that need skills. In this way, they can still work still utility workers, messengers or janitors and they get low pay.

Education for some is expensive yet very important. They knew they could not afford it and ended living miserable lives. But for those who have GUTS (genuine urge to succeed) even how expensive education is and how poor they are, they would still manage to hurdle the tuition fees just to have a child or two graduate from college and eventually help the other elder siblings follow too.

In third world countries, there is the so-called education problem. Many of the people are not educated, and because of this scenario, many too are starving and could not even eat three times a week. Because they are ignorant for lack of enough education, they tend to forget that for a poor man to succeed, education must be his good weapon to solve his dilemma for a better life as well as the whole family.

In industrialized countries, education is already on its highest level. Institutions for learning are becoming superficial and modernize because of new technologies. Online education is even a common sight in many universities as compared to third world countries. Even the illiterate adults in progressive countries are given chances of going back to school because of online education. They are no longer afraid that because they are old enough, there is no more time to acquire a college diploma.

To summarize it all, there is no rich nor poor in acquiring education. It will depend on how determined you are in achieving your goals in life. There are those rich but they did not finish their education, and there are those poor individuals, who capitalize their being poor to obtain the education they dream of having.


About

Education is any process, formal or informal, by which an individual is encouraged to fully develop his potential. It also provides an individual with the necessary knowledge, skills and character to be a productive member of society. The term 'education' is often used to mean formal education. Formal education is a conscious effort by human society to pass on skills and information considered vital for socialisation. Learning that takes place in schools or school-like environment is a form of formal education. In developing cultures, there is often little formal education. Children learn from their environment and the adults around them serve as teachers. In more developed societies, an efficient means of transmission of values and accumulated knowledge - the school and teacher - becomes necessary. Informal education, on the other hand, results from the constant effect of environment and its power to shape values and habits. Individuals acquire informal education from the world-at-large - families, peers, books, media and others. In a broad sense, the term 'education' covers formal learning, value-building and day-to-day experiences. Simply put, all that an individual experiences is a form of education.
