Education. Many things come to mind when I hear of this word. One of the things that surely pops into my mind is pain. There are many types pain when it comes to learning. It can be the pain and stress from staying up late, studying for tomorrow's test or it can be the pain from walking from RIS fifth floor to Reedemer Building fifth floor. Education can be painful and weary but is it worth it? That is the question. To me, I think it's worth the pain I've encountered. The knowledge that school gives us are foundation to who we are. Who would've known since they were born what careers are they going to be when they grow up. Some say, astronauts, doctors, etc but can they be sure about it. They might have been influence by their parents, media, or friends and so they decided to headed for that path. However through the pain and learning at school, we realized what subjects are best suited for us. For example, when I was young I wanted to become a computer programmer make awesome games. Undoubtedly this course of plan changed, and now I wanted to head for bio-medical science. We discover new things all time, everyday. The hardship today will help you succeed tomorrow. If you study hard for the test, you would most likely to receive a good grade. If you decide to push you efforts into your grades, you would most likely be accepted to ivy league universities. If you study in these top ten universities, you would most likely receive great career positions. If you earn huge batch of salary, you would most likely have a great relaxing life. You see its a chain reaction and a great example of how pain and hardship now will later pay off in your life.
