Education should be taken seriously

Should Our Education Be More Important Than Other Things?
Eduardo Verdugo/Associated Press

Did you ever wonder what jobs would put your life in jeopardy? There are so many jobs out there that will come to your mind but there is one that many people never thought would never be a life or death matter. I never thought that my career would put my life in jeopardy. My career is teaching and when I heard that there was a fight between teachers and police in the town of Nochixtlan, Mexico. I started to read the article. I can’t believe the massacre that happen in this town just because the town’s teachers do not want implement the new education law pass by their president. It has been ongoing war for decades, and the war is ongoing. They are always fighting to have more rights. Here is the link to the article if you would like to read more about.

I was always knew that the education world is unbalanced in our country, but I never knew how lucky we are to have the option to fight and sometimes win. There are so many people that don’t know how lucky they are to have teachers that fight for their right to to learn. People think that education is not worth their time. I don’t who you are, if you are in the United States take the opportunity of the education given you. I know some people that have taken the opportunity and they are illegal in the United States, but they have fought for their right to get educated. I’m going to the best I can to fight for education rights. I know that there are some teachers that don’t deserve to be teachers, but there are a lot more teachers who do care. I wished I had more teachers that cared so that I could have a better education.

Then, you have some people criticizing those who want to study and get the appropriate education, but can’t because they are not from here. They called us lazy and say we don’t want to make the this country great. No matter where you go and where you come from, people are always going to judge because you are going to get want you want. Education is something that you should not take lighty. There two videos out there about two girls being the top of their class and getting scholarships for college. So you can’t tell me that some teachers don’t do their job because they do.

People are so worried about our country being run by immigrants but that was what we started with so what is our problem. People are just scared to realize that together we can do better. The media has it where they are pitting us against each other and telling us that fighting against each other is the way to go. I can’t believe that people about to elect people who aren’t even close to being the great president. You people need to open your eyes before we are hitting rock bottom but I think we need to realize what we are going to lose. Just because is not important to you does not mean that it is not important.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
