I have always dreamt of becoming a pilot. However, these preconceived notions dissolved the very minute that I set foot in the Air Force as the recruiter laughed me out of his office. He said that women were not allowed become pilots.
The U.S. Army
I have served in the U.S. Army from 1980 to 1983. I am very proud to say that this institution has contributed a lot to my personal growth. Through this institution, I learned the value of discipline and to be of service to others. The kind of responsibility that we have to the citizens of the United States has extended the scope of my understanding of the reason of my existence.
In 1983, I received an honorable discharge.
All these experiences molded my values and pursuits. This led me to the realization of the importance of higher education. Although I have already completed a 5-year electrical apprenticeship program, I still would want to pursue higher education because of four specific things.
Firstly, higher education...
It is through this institution of learning that I will be able to extend and hopefully apply the things that I know and be able to learn new things.
Secondly, I wish to prove that no one is old enough for learning. Attending the university as a 48-year-old woman with daughters and grandchildren can hopefully allow others to see the importance of higher education. And hopefully, I may be able to inspire others to pursue the things that they have always wanted.
Thirdly, higher education can provide opportunities for me, which in turn, can help me in pursuing my advocacy of helping other cancer patients.
Lastly, higher education means standing up for the number of Filipinos (my father's native land) who are not able to continue their educational pursuits, not just because of financial restraints, but because of the enveloping mentality that they should not be heard and seen.
These are the things that motivate me in my pursuits of achieving higher education. And I raise them all to your good office in the hope that I may secure an opportunity to do the thing that I value the most.
I vowed never to be stopped simply by financial restraints; in the same way that I was able to survive breast cancer, I have learned that the assistance and generosity of others can help us in surviving our very own struggles, battles, pursuits, and restraints.
Education In the wake of the recent globalization, education has emerged as one of the most necessary tools for the field. For globalization to be realized on a large scale, the public has to be well conversant in matters concerning education. However, this has come to pass just a mirage, owing to the poor standards of education amongst some sectors of the public. Immigrants have suffered the most, and it is
Education Disparity in America: Education has traditionally been regarded as a great equalizer in the United States because of its capability to lift less disadvantaged children and enhancing their probability to succeed as adults. As a great equalizer of conditions in the society, education has been regarded as the balance wheel of America's social machinery. Since the establishment of the first public school in the United States, there has been widespread
Education I support most of what Robinson is saying that video. The core of his argument is that the education system geared more towards creating workers than thinkers, and that does seem to be the natural outcome of a lot of decisions in the education system. Schools that remove arts, physical education and other such classes to focus on standardized test subjects are being economically motivated to churn out workers. This
EDUCATION OF PISA MEMBERS vs. ECONOMY The relationship between economic growth and quality of education of PISA member countries 2003 and 2009 Economic Growth vs. The Quality of Education of Pisa Member Countries One of the most valuable assets for both the present and future generations is "quality education."

Higher Education Investment in Higher Education The literacy rate is one of the important indicators of a developed country hence governments focus on enhancing its infrastructure. There are many challenges to promote higher education as demographic and social factors act as barriers to admission for many candidates.

Education and Empowerment Since it became a country, the United States has made it a priority to educate its citizens in order to allow them to progress. The reason for this is that there is an established connection between education level and the potential for social mobility of Americans, a statistic which has been verified in other countries as well. In the United States, there is a concept of the American
