Importance Of Science And Education

Imagine, a small boy driving a little blue car up and down the street, when suddenly he drives it into a puddle of water. To his surprise the little car would not work anymore, he brings it inside and pulls an old screwdriver from out of his lunchbox. Slowly and methodically, he takes it apart, pulling the circuit board out and inspecting it. He places it in his lunchbox full of other circuits and wire, and then slides it back under his bed. As he matures, he finds himself with a teacher who, at best, is decent at explaining. After class, he is bombarded with questions about the material, and decides to help those around him. As he is explaining he looked around, and it was as if a switch had just been flipped on in their heads. Ever since …show more content…
In the future, whatever my plans turn out to be I know I will help students realize how important education is. As a teacher this would be simple, to show them the wonders of science, the application of science in the world around them. By sparking that initial curiosity, its possible they will continue to pursue science and education well after high school. If you ask anyone to think of someone who had an influence on them, they will almost always remember a teacher, someone who guided them possibly making them who they are today. Teachers help change the world. On the other hand, if I choose to become an engineer the impact I could have on the community, and its youth will not be lost. As an engineer, I will be able to show students the gravity of engineering, that almost everything we interact with is a construct of engineering this being even more so in the future. Then showing students that they too can become engineers, by giving them the opportunity to become interns. We can show the youth how great it is to be an engineer, if not through internships then through engineering fairs and showcases. No matter what path I choose I will be able to impact tomorrow’s youth by inspiring them to do better, by sparking an interest in science or engineering that could last a
