Becomming Educated - Response
Education-"the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.''(Dictionary.com)
What an education means to me is when you start off going to elementary school and going through Jr high and then finally graduating High School. Then if you want to further your education like many you go to College. Getting a education is something we all should be thankful to have. I know I am thank for and grateful for even being about to go to college. Education is rare. When getting it most students try to push it off cause they don't know how great they really have. When sending your kid to a public school and seeing them slack off makes you wonder how there parents did and if that child really knows how good he/she has it.

HI Aza,
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that you define an education by the process and transition of the education system. Does this really mean that you are "becoming educated?" Think about the word "becoming?" What do you think this term means? Now what about "educated?" Think about how this applies to you personally. Personally, I don't believe the process and transition of the education system is a way of "becoming educated."
