Education: Changing Lives (Edukasyon ang Solusyon)

Posted by Shyle on 5:36 AM in
I was once a student like you when I experienced the hardships in life. As I stand in front of you now, I've been recalling all the struggles and sacrifices I had encountered before achieving to what I am now today. I came from a poor family which my parents' income belongs below poverty line, however it did not hinder me to pursue my studies for I wanted to alleviate our family from financial crisis. Trials always attacked me in the middle of my journey to success and had weakened me gradually. But I thanked the Lord for pouring me more strength always at that time so I did not fall and stumble. I have finished my Bachelor's degree and landed a good job immediately after graduation.

The importance of education is really very clear for without it, I could not have given the opportunity to stand here in front you as a guest speaker in your Graduation Day. It is a clear evidence of my success though failures will never be absent in every endeavor, however, I am proud to say that I SUCCEED and have started helping my family step higher from the poverty line. The theme for this 2010 Closing Exercises, "Education: Changing Lives (Edukasyon ang Solusyon) is really very true for it is a key to open the gate of the outside world which have greater opportunities to succeed. Our world will stay stagnant and far to being progressive if all people living have no knowledge to perform their responsibilities. For all of us have different task to do to build a progressive and productive nation.

Education is basically important for two reasons according to Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. "The first is the training of a human mind which is not complete without education. Education makes a man a right thinker". Our teachers in the school trained us to become a right thinker so that as we continue our game we can manage decision-making process. It is clearly stated that a human being who has not gone to school is not in their proper sense until he is educated. I can remember our neighbor who was called by her friend as ignorant for she made wrong decisions always. Do you want to be called ignorant? I know your answer is a big no!
The second reason for the importance of education is that only through the attainment of education, man is enabled to receive information from the external world; to acquaint himself with past history and receive information regarding the present. Without education, man is though in a closed-room and with education he finds himself in a room with all it's windows open towards outside world. Thus, making our lives change for the better.
Graduation ceremony marks one stage of person's life to another. "Your next venture in the real world begins today, wherever you go, always bring your own sunshine to light the world. Do not be easily discourage as trials come on your way because those will help you become even smoother than before. Think always all the advantages and opportunities that may be offered to you when you are a degree holder already. Job competition is very high in our world today so be equipped with all the appropriate skills and knowledge required. But do not forget to practice and live a set of good moral values in life for that will be you ticket to the good life that awaits you in the real world and the key to change the lives of the people living on it.
