Why college education is important to me

Umar Farooq “Education in its broadest, general sense is the means through which the aims and habits of a group of people lives on from one generation to the next” (Dewey, 1916). Education is a necessity for a person to be successful in life. I have several dreams and goals in my life. I want to be a System Administrator. I have also aimed for starting and managing my own business. In order to achieve my life goals and to fulfill my dreams, I have discovered that education is necessary. Without education, I will not able to get a System Administrator job, I will not get enough income to fulfill my dreams. Without any reasonable source of income, I cannot start my own business. Therefore, in order to live a successful life, education is essential. Besides being successful in life, education also reforms several human natures such as human behavior, attitude and courtesy. College education is the key to success in my practical life. My primary goal is to be well educated in the field of Information Technology. The world is developing fast in the field of technology. Even the smallest grocery store is now using computer to manage their sales. After passing my high school diploma, my interest in computer programming encouraged me to educate further in associates degree in Computer Information Systems. The courses included in this program of study are Windows Operating System, Database Processing, Computer programming, Microsoft Office and PC Maintenance and Selection. These courses fall in different categories of computer. First four courses are of software and the last one is on computer hardware. This program of study will increase my knowledge about computers. I am going to learn something new, which is highly important to me, to be a System Administrator. I will able to get the job, which I have aimed for. I have chosen this job, not only for reasonable income but also for my interest in computers. After passing this college degree, I will be able to complete my education from university. This program of study is the keystone in my academic journey.

Every person has some specific goals to achieve as I have. Definitely, to achieve those goals, I need money. I must find a better source of income. The best source of income I have aimed for is to work as an employee, in the leading Industry, as a System Administrator. Searching for a job is the stage where my education and college degree comes into play. After completing my college degree, I will apply for the job, so I can start saving for my business. I want to start a business of computer games. I must also enroll into the Business Management Bachelor degree program to increase my ability for managing my own business. Sometimes I really wonder that what if I did not attended my high school, what I would be if I were an illiterate person. The answer is simple; I would not able to survive in this world. I cannot fulfill my dreams, the dreams of being literate, being rich, running my own business. As if I were illiterate, then it is very hard for me to live my life. Education plays a significant role in achieving life goals.

Education is not limited to achieve life goals or to get a better job. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Scholars are the backbone of developed countries. Education can also reform your behavior. Educated person clearly spot the difference between right and wrong. From my school life to college, I have learned several things. One of the most important things that education has taught me is maintaining courtesy. While communicating, use polite and soft words to everyone, not just to your elders. You are recognized a literate person with your good behavior.

Finally, I am wondering why college education is important to me. College education is important to me because I want to be well educated. I want to be a System Administrator. I have dreamed to run my own business. I want to be rich. Education will make me a literate, noble, successful and rich person. Uneducated person leads his life like a car without wheels.
