Education Is Important

The decision of gaining an education has undeniably always been a big part in my life. Growing up in a single parent family taught me many valuable lessons; including deep appreciation of receiving an education. Ever since I was born my mother has pushed me along from one grade level to the next, always reiterating the importance of obtaining my education. As early as grammar school, I learned that through education we obtain knowledge, which is power and the power of knowledge has helped me grow. So far with the education that I have gained from grammar school all the way to my college years, have been able to clearly understand that education is the pathway to the future I want. As a Therapeutic Recreation student at Lehman College, I am grateful that through my college education, I have been able to develop many skills and abilities including preparing myself to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow with confidence.
