Education is Power Education is power in so many ways. It bestows knowledge upon you that defines you as an intelligent individual. It announces your capabilities and potential in society. I believe it is your passport to success in life. Education is power for the individual at the very personal level. The individual enters the formal education system, at kindergarten, with a very simple, “child-like” identity. As the person grows and progresses through the grades, two things simultaneously change within that person. First, they learn that the world is a “huge” place that is quite busy and complex. Their view of the world widens and deepens as they experience more of life. By itself, this growing view could make one feel powerless and alienated because you may see yourself as a small child in the face of this newly-understood enormous world. However, as your world is widening, education encourages a corresponding growth in your understanding of that world. For example, you are learning that, when you bleeds, your body is making new blood to replace that old blood. You need not fear that you will die every time you cuts yourself. This is the power of education. It helps you understand the more complex world that you are experiencing. Without education, one would feel powerless. Parallel to this growth in learning about the world is the individual’s developing self-confidence. Because learning has empowered us to be successful in life, you feel more confident in yourself and your abilities. your initial successes in life breed even more confidence. Another way that education is power is with the development of life skills. As previously mentioned, education allows the individual to understand and live in the world more confidently. This understanding translates into the development of life skills. The individual is able to find more success
