My parents made sure that I was going to some of the better schools growing up. All three of the schools that I went to had teachers that pushed me past my limits to help me grow and when a teacher actually cares about their students it really helps them know the value of an education. I had to make sure that all of my homework was done before I go outside and play with friends or play any video games.

That may be true but it is either because they don’t want to put the effort in to it or that from a young age they never believed in education so they get behind and when they realize the importance of getting an education it’s too late. I was lucky that my parents taught me at a young age how important education was. I have had many of reasons for why I believe that getting an education is very important in life. Some of these reasons have to do with how I was raised and my core values as a person.
