The  process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university. That’s the google definition of the word education. But that not our definition of education. Education can mean to us getting a high school or college diploma. But education is more than that and it took me some time to figure it out.
Education wasn’t always important for me. When I was a kid I thought of it as something like a place where we are forced to go to learn about things we don’t need.  It was first grade when I realized it wasn’t the school I didn’t like it was the teacher. My first grade Teacher Ms Silverman wasn’t even a bad teacher it was the way my imagination saw her as. A person forcing me to do what I don’t want to do. It would be times where  I would go crazy run around the classroom and grab the teacher leg to get carried out or kicked out. It wasn’t until 3rd grade when I realized that education and being taught was important.  We started day 1 of the  State exam and I though it was like any test. But I was told if we fail we don’t move up. And I tried my best on the other test and past. It was there when I realized why some education is important. It can damage my intelligence and stop me from moving up to get closer to graduation. From there on I told myself education is about going to the next grade and graduating. For some reason and I am not proud of I would make fun of people who got left back. But I realized everybody had their own views on getting their education. My view change from being able to go up to the next grade to realizing that education is more than that. It’s about understanding what being thought and being able to recognize how it effects me and my education.

When I reach high school things change. I had this teacher who use to always say “ Education has no definition. The way we read write and work is the way we educate ourselves” My response to that was  “ education is about what you teach us. What we learn is education.” He remained us that education come in many different shapes sizes and many different forms. Education is about taking what we learn and using it towards a career and also using it in our lives. As I reach my senior season  in high school and this pandemic hit I was worried about ,y education. I was worried I wasn’t going to get it the correct way due to what’s going on. When we transformed from in school education to online education it did effect me and my leaning. It was harder to do my work. It was harder to understand without being in the classroom. Yes I graduated but did I learn anything did I truly get a good high school education. Did it affect the way I am going to learn in college. But then I realized that after taking my new college classes that education comes in many different methods. Educational methods include teaching, training, storytelling, discussion and directed research.  We can get an education from anybody me from anywhere weather we get taught in Different  ways Or thought by a different person. The real definition of Education is Judy using what you can get out of it weather you understand that or not. It’s about getting it and taking control. Education It develops in us as a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life.
