Education Is The Key?




Society makes education sound like its the key to the greatest success you will ever receive because of the opportunities a degree will give you. Darryll Suliaman Amoako also known as Suli Breaks is known for his raw-written poems. He discusses over a video called "Why I Hate School But Love Education" that many inspiring, well off people like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey have a net worth of billions of dollars with no education or degree. With this statement he begins discussing money. Many people say they aren't in it for the money, so what are they in it for? Money is the reason you get a degree so you can find a job and live a life you've dreamed of with no concerns about money. I believe education will bring you a long way, but I also believe the circumstances that help us get an education aren't right. Exam results are the fate of every ones future. Exams are pointless. They cause people loads of stress for what? To remember facts and dates so you can just forget them a day after. Studying for an exam doesn't allow you to remember anything but every result decides if you can learn anything. Many people achieve their dreams without education and I'm not saying education isn't the key I'm saying that it's not the only way you can be educated. Education is not a bad thing but school is just another place to show you how much you're worth in society's eyes.

Writer's craft Intententions & Guidence





My intentions for this course is to gain a greater understanding of writing through different abilities you can pick up through this course and to gain self confidence in my writing abilities. I enjoy writing and I wish to expand more on writing through the ability to create different stories or styles of work. I wish to be able to gain confidence in my writing and be able to show others my work without hesitation and also be confident with the work I have written. I want to be able to take well written criticism and use it for my better knowledge to become a greater writer. My intentions all reflect on who I am and who I want to be as a writer, through confidence and knowledge.

Writing skills can offer me many aspects that can improve my work as a writer. The ability to expand my thoughts into greater detail to produce a short story or releasing my thoughts into writing a poem. Writing skills will slowly help me generate into a greater writer and help me achieve things I never thought I could.  It can slowly offer me more confidence in my abilities as a writer which every writier needs to learn. I also hope the new writing skills I will learn will show me a greater picture to writing and how well it can affect my future in a positive way. The gain of these skills will help me overcome certain tasks I couldn't before without the right mindset or tools.
