I see the world as an environment that

required a high level of education. The
world we live in is becoming more and more
segregated. Companies do not want to
higher workers without college degrees. The
level of education that one is equipped with
paves the way one goes through life.
Without an education the activities and
opportunities one can have may disappear.
A library dropbox is a place where one can
store information. That information includes
books, novels, and articles. The more books
a dropbox has makes a larger contribution
to the library. A brain works the similar way.
The more knowledge a brain has results in
a larger contribution to society. I believe that
every individual must contain a brain full of
information and knowledge because the
outcomes are unbelievable. Imagine 1000
students with a masters degree from
Columbia University. Now imagine 1000
students in the third grade. Which group will

make a greater impact on society?

Obviously the group from Columbia
University. Although this comparison is a
little extreme, it does reflect the capabilities
one has and their ability to contribute to the
world. One must have a mind that is full of
knowledge because it will make a wonderful
contribution to society. Just think about it.
Imagine a world where cars run on salt
water. Or a world where governments can
work together to solve problems. Or even a
world where you can use 100% of your
brain like the movie Limitless with Bradley
Cooper. None of these situations can be
done with scholars with knowledgeable
minds. I once visited a jail for an elementary
school field trip and the sight was not pretty.
I saw a young Caucasian male sitting in a
tiny room and I thought wow, imagine if he
went to school and did good things. I knew
right away that I never wanted to be like that
man. Yet the only way to accomplish that
promise is by loading my brain with
knowledge. This is why I heavily preach
about how education matters. A mind
containing endless amounts of education
can only cause great things.
