Education Matters

"There are many problems, but I think there is a solution to all these problems; it's just one, and it's education." (Malala Yousafzai)

Education Matters

A new school year is coming, which means back to learning and studying! Although that might sound like a dreadful time, I hope after reading this article, you will change your mind about school because of EDUCATION MATTERS.

There is so much power in knowledge and the more you know, the more you are able to be open-minded and understand the world. In each book that you read, and in each lecture that you listen to, there is always something to learn. Sure there are issues and missing parts in our education system, but that shouldn't stop you from learning from other resources, such as books, movies, documentaries, research, and even experiences of others.

As I am growing older and into my last year of college, there is nothing I value more than this opportunity to learn.

Education matters. What you know and what you can apply to this world matters. Education is not just about grades, resume, and status, but truly what you can bring to your community and to those around you.

There is a delicate quote from Dr. Seuss that I believe really explains everything in such a short sentence - " The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

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.
