“You need to finish your studies. You need to graduate. We will do everything just for you to finish up to college.” These are some of the lines of our parents when we were younger especially when we started going to school.

We may wonder why is it like always mandatory for every parents to work hard just to make their children acquire the so called “education”. We always see parents who always monitor the studies of their children and they even plead to teachers and other school authorities for chances so that their children who have been not into studying could still be given chances to make it up to the activities that they failed to comply. The big question here is WHY?

The answer is simple. They want their children to have a bright future. It is true that elders know better. This is why they value their children’s education. They know that when one is able to finish it up, many doors of great opportunities will open. Our parents know that when we finish studying, we will be offered a stable job and a better salary. We will always be a priority when we apply for work. We can fight poverty. We can find more ways to solve our personal problems. We can even travel around the world. We can achieve best things that our hearts desire. But most of all, we can stand on our own feet. With education, we can live by feeding ourselves and best of all, we can have decent life.

Let us treasure our chances for education. If we do so, we are not only building a brighter future for ourselves but also for our future children. Always remember that education will be your weapon in building your brighter tomorrow and a brighter world.
