Education is a very important part of our lives. It helps to ground us, make us learn about the world around us, and makes us civilized and educated. The school years are the foundation years of anyone's life, with primary and then secondary Education, a child learns more and more – his brain is like a sponge that will soak up facts, figures, and knowledge.

Many children hate going to school. For them, it is a painful ordeal. However, education is necessary, and one could rely on more interesting teaching methods or tools to make the education easier on the child. School makes children into more literate individuals – it teaches them the basics of life, and shows them how to pursue their dreams. One must learn subjects like history, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry as well as the life sciences. Along with this one may learn English, French, Spanish, and various other languages.

 However, learning facts and figures is not all there is to education – one must also learn about the ways of the world. A big part of education is knowing how to respect others, how to conduct oneself in public, how to maintain decency and be a good human being, etc. Education makes us gain knowledge, and gives us an enhanced perspective about life. It is not only the gathering and gaining of information, however – we must interpret the things properly, we must learn not just from textbooks and encyclopedias, but also from the giant book of life. This will give us a broader vision and show us how to live life better. After completing education, many go for competitive exams – like those for medical, Engineering, etc. These are the very basis of culture and civilization - they help to develop our values and virtues. Sitting for the right competitive exams (even for civil services) can help us realize the talent out there, so that we can work harder to reach the top. One must prepare well for these kinds of exams as they are usually very tough indeed. When one sits for competitive exams, one can get into different fields of work like engineering or doctoring, and this helps the economic growth of the country. It helps to form the support system, increases the knowledge base, and becomes the criterion for prospective employment.

The main benefit of education is that it can make your dreams come true, it can provide you the gateway to a better life and can fetch you a successful career- be it in journalism, engineering, medical sector, or even in the corporate field. Sitting for competitive exams and doing well in them gives you a much-needed edge over others, and it illuminates your mind. With the right kind of education you can become a good citizen of your country and be prepared for all that life offers you.
