Education Benefits You and the Environment



Happy first day of school!  Now I know when the word school comes to mind you don’t automatically think, FUN… especially because your lazy and relaxing summer is over and you have to wake up early, attend boring classes, and do assignments that take up way too much of your free time.  Yes school is tough and it could be boring, but I just want you to keep in mind the reason why you attend school.  I know each and every student has a goal, whether that is becoming a millionaire or working to help others, there is a passion and a drive somewhere within that smart brain of yours to help you achieve your greatest desires. Therefore, I am going to encourage you to learn to love school. 

So, you’re probably wondering how this EGOlogical “tip” relates to the environment.  Well, education is the key element to saving the environment.  Modernization theorists believe that over time as technology increases, we will come up with new ideas and ways to better society as well as help the environment.  The only way to live up to those expectations is for us to be educated.  Education opens so many doors for each individual and there are many people that don’t have access to those resources.  So instead of claiming that you’re “bored” in class and posting it as your Facebook status, try paying attention because all it takes is a few educational words from a professor that could change your life.  Or maybe instead of whining about how you have to write a seven-page paper due tomorrow and sharing your aggression about it with the rest of the world on Facebook, who I will add probably don’t even care, actually work ahead and be excited to write a paper that you are proud to turn it.  Our future relies on our success and you are the only person with the power to shape and mold your future.  You are smart, beautiful, and intelligent, so stop whining about school and start using your talents to change the world!
