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.

  1. Good work Brianna. You've given a good summary of Suli's points and clearly stated how you feel. Just a few technical issues to correct;
    - also known as... missing n
    - " around poem title
    - comma before but
    - society's eyes - possessive not plural
