I think education is good to me and many others because it gives us a chance to do and know more. For example, we must learn how to read and write. Without knowing those basic skills it would be hard to get through life. Once we know these skills we can learn almost anything we want to learn. I can't imagine what it would be like to walk into a restaurant and not be able to read a menu or not be able to fill out a check or even a job application.

I enjoy getting an education because it is fun to learn new things. It's nice to learn about places I may go when I grow up.

Who knows, maybe someday I will be able to help someone else get an education. That would mean a lot to me. I love learning about good education. Andria Hargis

It means to learn. Without Education where would we be. Educcation is your life. If you did not have an Education you would die, because you could not get a real job. You could not get food, clothes and a house. You would have to have someone take care of you. Lets just say you can't live without Education. the end. Eric Wright

What education means is to go to school and lrne. And to be a good stotit. And it means to lisin to the techer. Rachal Dyan Laut

If you dont go to school you won't know how to read or write or anything like grown-ups do. You need to know how to read and write if you want to be a teacher. Danielle Coffey

I like learning because it is fun. If we did not have education nobody would be smart. Then nobody would know how much their grocerys are, and also I would not be writing this story. Chrysten Cook

Education helps people get along in the world. It gives you jobs, like a doctor or a lawyer, instead of selling candy around the neibarhood. With an education you can buy more food for your family. Some people without an education can't even afford food. With an eduacation you can know what's going on in the world around you. You can also know whats happening out of this world, like anothe planet.
