Vocational education

I consider myself a very ambitious, studious, and responsible individual who understands the importance and values of an education. Nelson Mandela once stated that an “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” I strongly believe that it cannot only change the world, but it is the most powerful tool an individual can possess.

would have an equal opportunity at higher education. Just because someone comes from low income housing should not limit that individual to pursue a college education. This would result in an overall educated society with an increase in competition.
