Education?

        Education is essential for everyone in our modern time. I believe every school does their best to give every one of their students the satisfaction of a true education. Everyone has a different definition of "true education" and I am going to expand on mine. If I were to write about today's education, I would say it is not the best because it can always be better. I feel as though, today's education is focused on memorizing and not about the true essence of learning. I believe that every student should have the right to choose which subjects they focus on depending on their preferred major in college. Everyone in school is trying to figure out who they want to become in the future and with the non-stop stress of school, that is becoming difficult. A "true education" for me is letting students' minds explore and discover new things. Students these days are not allowed to try new things, but instead we are forced to follow the everyday routine of school. I feel as though there is a wall building up in every student's mind because they are not following their spark of curiosity. Our schools give us the extent of a "true education" only until the point where we have learned the basics of each subject. After we have learned about the basics of each subject, we can decide for ourselves, about which subject we enjoy and which ones we do not. The ones we enjoy should be the ones we continue in school and throughout college. I do not believe students need the stress of all seven subjects in school, because being a teenager and growing up is already enough. Schools, everywhere have set up goals for themselves, but the main goal should be making sure that every student is actually growing and expanding their minds. 

         I love learning and figuring new things out. I just wish school would have been my favorite place to do all of that in. As a student, I admit that the school system has to become better. Why is it that our schools do not reach the full extent of a "true education"? Why is it that students are not allowed to ask important questions within schools? Why is it that students do not enjoy school and would rather be home? These are all questions I want the answers too.
