Today I am answering the question: What is the value of education?

I believe the value of education is more than a piece of paper that says diploma and where you attended college.  I believe it to be the start of a new chapter in life.  The start of something new and with that education you can do things with your life that you never could have done before.  So many people go to college and truly don't know what they are getting in those 4 years or 2 years at the college, but what they are getting is something amazing and something that not everyone has the opportunity to receive.

I am at college for a few reasons.  One.  Everyone is my family has gotten a college degree and it is something that I grew up planning on doing.  Two.  Getting a college degree is important in finding and keeping a job when you get older.  It is vert hard to get a well paying job without a degree.  I am here for other reasons too.  I feel that God brought me to Wartburg College to do big things here.  If it is with baseball, or school I am supposed to be here.  

Going to college is more about the fun, parties, friends, and peer expectations; it's about putting yourself in an environment to learn and further your education to make you a smarter person and addition to human society.
