There is no way that a person could be someone in this world without education. We all know this. Although, not everyone has access to the same opportunities when it comes to progressing with education. You see… you are judged by how smart you are and people determine your intelligence by the amount of schooling you’ve had in life. For some odd reason, good jobs always require a bachelor’s, master’s, or even a Ph.D. That should not be the case because a degree does not automatically make you smart. Society has a bad habit of stereotyping not having a degree to not having intelligence. A prime example of education not being linked to schooling is Mark Zuckerberg, who dropped out of an ivy league school in 2005 to expand his small project that is now a trillion dollar company. This is just one of a million cases of dropouts making their way up to the top. There are also some things that hold people back from getting an education from school. It’s their language. It’s extremely hard for people to live in America and not be able to speak good English. I’ve seen it in my mom’s case. She was born in Ecuador and speaks English in a very broken manner. She gets treated differently from someone who could speak English fluently and it’s very upsetting because that’s not how it should work. She’s been denied jobs, not taken seriously, ignored, the list goes on and on. People think she doesn’t have intelligence but she does, she just doesn’t have the platform to explain it. Someone’s intelligence should not be determined by how easily another person could understand them.

In my personal experiences, I’ve recognized this as well. It is a shame that in this society one’s fluentness in English determines both how they get treated and how intelligent someone determines them. But I think those people who make it places regardless of the stigmas and the backlash placed on them are the ones who truly break the mold and show everyone that their way of thinking is flawed.
I agree with you, I see how differently my mom and I get treated just because she has an accent and I don’t. My mom is one of the smartest person I know and it angers me how people will disregard her opinion simply because she speaks a little differently.
