I want to gain skills that I need to succeed by my own standards in life because I think it is important to have certain skills in life. Without interpersonal and problem solving skills, it might be very difficult to do certain things in life, such as working with others. It’s also important to note that the definition of success varies from person to person. I just want to be able to support myself and live comfortably, while still helping others reach their own success.

Stability is the most important thing to get out of an education because in order to live life to the fullest you can’t have money be a burden. Also one of my core values is family. In the future, I really want to make my dad proud and buy him a house and one of the fastest and best ways to do that is getting through college so you have the knowledge needed to get a well paying job.

What I would like to get out of high school? That’s a simple question with a not so simple answer. I think what I would like out of it would be not only to learn and become educated but also interact with other minds. I think I just want to milk it for all it’s worth, because quite honestly there is no time in the future where you can just go back to high school. I want to enjoy the ride, you can say. My school has many different and advanced programs like the scholars program and Ap courses. I think that not every school has those programs and so not all students have the opportunity to excel beyond their peers. It’s a very strange experience to find yourself in classes with students that are one or two grades above you and I think that is actually what I want from high school, not just the classes but the people you meet and the obstacles you face. Sometimes I look at school as a pine tree. There are different organisms from the squirrels and birds on the branches to the insects crawling on the wood. You could find so many new things if you explore it. Squirrels scurry around on branches is like students running from class to class. They try to find food and eventually explore the tree enough to know some trees like what branches are weaker and birds learn which insects you shouldn’t eat. It’s similar how a student figures out their way around school and what people not to mess with or what classes they should show effort in and not with others. That’s what I like best about high school. You can find people who have so much to say and sometimes you agree or disagree with them, but they really are intriguing. That is what I want the most out of high school. To find new people and listen to strange voices that aren’t always heard, to meet people who share similar views or people that oppose them and want to know why they don’t agree. What I want out of high school is new outlooks that make your mind fuzzy and turn your world upside down.

What I want from my education is to learn the most I can about the things I care about. I do not truly care about math and care very little for science. Instead I want to become more social and get better at art or improve my writing. I think in some aspect my education gives me what I want. The only down side is that my value is based on numbers rather than my actual skills. Not only that but I learn too much about things I care too little for. Unfortunately this is the way thing are. All I can do is make the best out of the opportunities I am given to learn about the things that I enjoy. The things I want to base a future off of.

I wish for a lot from my education. What I decide to do now will certainly hold impact on my future. I wish to go through through my years as a student with no regrets or a feeling of missed opportunity. I want to pursue a career that i will enjoy, possibly in the medical field. In order to do this I will need to go through years to come of schooling. I want to gain knowledge and better myself through challenges. I wish to feel successful and accomplished. I hope for a well paying job to ensure my future as an adult. I wish for an important role in a career path where I can use my knowledge and experience to help others in need. I believe education is very significant and is essential for a prosperous future. Education is a blessing and can easily be taken for granted. I ultimately hope I can mature with my knowledge and take this into a purpose for greater good.

From my education I want success. Not just success in terms of completing school and getting a job, I want success of defying the odds. I want my education to help people see that not all African Americans fall into a stereotype. I want my education to show that I am more than just another number on a chart or paper.

Education should be meaningful. It should set you up for college and real life. Classes shouldn’t be standardized throughout the whole country. School should help students develop important life skills and help them decide what they want to do in life. The education system believes that all students should learn the same content. They keep us in a cave and then expose us to reality and expect us to succeed. The school system teaches kids like everyone wants to be a doctor; not everyone wants to be a doctor and some classes just aren’t useful in certain fields. I want my education to provide something useful to my future.

I want the outcome of my education to be great, I want the best for my family and I. Being in the same district my whole life has opened plenty of doors and opportunity’s for me. I simply just want to be successful with where my education takes me and where it’ll lead me in the future. College is very important to my family and I because, in my opinion it’s where all your money relies. Once you finish college there’s the real world awaiting for your arrival. Getting a job and making bank is my goal like anybody else out there. It’s a cycle and it’s been that way for the awhile now. A majority of people want the same thing out of their education...a job that pays well. Some have no aspiration whatsoever, having the thought that they’re being forced to go everyday. Getting in trouble frequently because, there is nobody there to support them and encourage them to be great. Sometimes all you got is yourself and you want to prove to family members that you’re smart and you want to pursue a dream. Within education, there is multiple outcomes, I’m looking for the one that makes my family proud of me and approves of my choices no matter what I decide to do.
