I felt like school was not important; that most of the things I have learned in school was futile. I thought of education as a unbearable punishment that I was forced into. All this changed the second year of highschool, when I joined the Police Explorers program. The program help me to understand that there is another world waiting for me after high school, and everything that I learn will matter forever in my life. Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. With education it is possible to change not only your own life but also the whole world. My grades in school immediately rose after joining the program, because I took education more seriously. My behavior also changed after I joined the program; I learned to appreciate every little thing in life. The program showed me that I was a fighter and that there is no reason to quit until you reach the goal you set out for. I have from that point taken up on every opportunity to receive my education to its fullest. I also became thankful for the fact that I was able to receive this education, which many around the world do not have the opportunity to have. People should use their education to help others who have not had the opportunity to get a decent education. I will be more than grateful to have the opportunity to further expand my education at Esperanza College of Eastern
