The real goal of education

by Elena Kravtsova

Created on: October 07, 2009   Last Updated: October 13, 2009

Speaking about goals in any field of our life we are sure we are speaking about a definite result we want finally to achieve. Taking football as a direct example of a word "goal" we mean success and victory of our team if we have managed to pass a ball to a skillful player so that he can bring this victory.

The same happens with our studies: we enter colleges and universities for some purposes: some of us want to get a profound knowledge , others want a diploma to make more money in the future(they believe that having a diploma without knowledge will give them a chance to be employed successfully),one more part of people have a strong desire to gain a reputation of a sophisticated person " who has just graduated from a high educational establishment".We all can find each variant worth considering,because each variant is right in its way.

I like thinking that due to education I could find more prestigious job which I like and can do quite well.I believe my teachers would be proud of their student because I am doing my best for that- This is the best present I can give them!

I like thinking that I am respected because of a decent education I have gained at university which is well known throughout my country.

One more thing I understand and accept concerning education is one's constant wish to know something more(they say that it is never late to learn !)If you have a wish to learn something new you achieve in your ability of sharing your knowledge with others who will thank you for that!

I am proud I can suggest my own way of understanding a subject based on the knowledge I got during my university study.

Without education( it doesn't matter whether you are educated in a special institution or having a separate teacher come to your place and teach you there, or your mom who was the first to help you with a simple but the most important word in the world "MOM") one cannot get all the wonders in the world: understanding people, associating with them, having an ability to live in society and being an individual.

What is intelligence? It is a set of abilities which come not only when we are born. They are gained in the process of our progressing in this world. Without knowledge you will never gain progress! Without a goal you will never get future- the future with happiness in life and sucess in the world!
