The Importance of Education

By: Berrett Stillwell




An education is the defining moment of a person's life. It shapes who they will become and contribute to society. You gain social skills, intellectual knowledge and discernment. Education is the ground level and foundation of the way a person thinks, acts, behaves and interacts. Here is why.


Having social skills is fundamental to having a good life. It is the basis to finding an eternal companion and supporting yourself and family.  In addition social skills also shape how others view you and whether or not they could be around you comfortably. Without the necessary social skills you would be alone in life and missing many essential pieces to live a happy life.


You most definitely could not go through life without the knowledge you gain from an education. Also you would lack the necessary knowledge to thrive in the world. Nobody would take anything you said because of your lack of basic knowledge. Therefore it would be hard to know what to do and how to solve your worldly problems. And finding a job would be a struggle.


Being able to discern is something that people regularly disregard for how easy and natural it is but you would not have this if you lacked the proper education and or guidance. The way you think is a big part of who you are as a person in society. Also, being able to make decisions based on your morals is something that should not be taken lightly. Without it one would simply lack the necessary thought process to make decisions with confidence. This is just too important.


Having an education is a fundamental part of growing up. Growing up without one would leave you high and dry for the world to swallow. In conclusion, having an education gives you skills of knowledge, discernment and the social skills to get by in the world we live in. And having an education is too important to pass up.

  The Library of Alexandria also called the museum of Alexandria was built in Egypt around the year 295 bce. The city of Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great during his conquest. His successor to be pharaoh, Ptolemy I Soter, was the founder of the museum. The Museum was a shrine of the Muses modeled after the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens. The Greeks played a vital role in the construction of the library. The basic architecture is all based on Greek architecture. It was built because Greek scholars came to Egypt seeking knowledge and a place to collect and organize their studies. At around 246-221 bce the library became too full to hold any more knowledge and a smaller sister branch was made called the Serapeum. No one is sure how many books these libraries contained but estimates say anywhere from 200,000 books to 7000,000 books. The destruction of the library was the result of the war between Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII. Caesar siding with Cleopatra set fire t...

  Insights Journal Unit 2 Berrett Stillwell Question 1 There is a lot we can learn from books and stories. In the book just david there is a quote, “It is to be expected that when one’s thoughts lead so persistently to a certain place, one’s feet will follow.” This quote is talking about fate and that it will almost certainly lead you to what you want. This quote teaches the reader that they can always achieve whatever aspiration they are trying to achieve. Some people would say that calling good fortune just fate might make you seem arrogant and selfish and that's reasonable. I’m not saying you can just wish for something and get it. Obviously there is going to be some work in there that will balance it out but the main point still stands. You can achieve anything. When the author says that the feet will follow he is saying that you will (most likely) follow through and act on the idea. Thinking that someone will do everything for you is just fantasy. And depending on the fe...
