DAY 9: HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK EDUCATION IS
Education is important to me. I believe that everyone should have the basic understanding of things. To me graduating high school is a must, not an option.
This is going to probably sound bad, but I really don't care. I have known a lot of people who have dropped out of high school, and though I do not judge them because of what they decided to do with their life, I always ask why. I always get ridiculous crap answers back. "I just wanted to start working." "I wasn't really learning anything." Etc.
I'm sorry, but GED's and diplomas are NOT the same. A diploma shows you put in the time to graduate high school, GED's show that you didn't.
But, maybe my negative opinion is based on the fact that my siblings and I were expected to graduate. Dropping out was not an option.
Now, if someone chooses not to further their education after high school, that's fine. I myself, went to a semester of college, screwed off a little too much, and ended up pregnant. So, I have been working to provide for my children, and have taken a couple of years off. I am planning on going back and furthering my education in the next couple of years.
I'm not in the mood to continue ranting, so goodnight.
