We should all value our education more!

Do you think young people today value their education as much as Sara Smolinsky does? Why or why not?

I don't think that young people today value their education as much as Sara Smolinsky does. Having an education, especially where we live, is part of every person's life. We all go to school and we all learn, take tests, and most of us try to get good grades, however, there are young people who do not care about school or education. This is unlike Sara, who is unusual for having an education, causing her to value everything she has learned. It is possible that young people don't care because we are not only forced to go to school, but the burden of college and having a decent career is thrust upon us at such a young age. I believe that as we get older we value our education more, as we enter the "real world." It may not seem like it now, with questions like "when am I ever going to need to know this?" in your head, but it will all pay off in the end. Education is important for jobs, careers, to be successful...or if you just want to have an educational conversation and be taken seriously!
