I feel that school is a good starting point in life. Not only do you learn things like math and english but you also learn life skills. These skills include making friends, negotiating, how to use manners, using money, speaking in public and many other things that you use in your life as an adult in the working world. Long time bonds are made at school and experiences happen that ressinate in your brain for years to come. High school helps to determine what we wil be like as adults when we graduate and are forced to experience the "real world". School is like a stepping stone from the realm of teenager to the exciting and scary world of an adult. .
As I mentioned before usefull skills are developed as early as the first day of school. We introduce ourselves to new people and discover what the trick to making friends is. This is something that we carry with us for the rest of our lives. Another talent that not everyone feels comfortable doing is speaking in public. Weather it is doing an oral report for your social class or reading an excerpt from a novel in english, everyone has spoken in front of a room of people. Feeling comfortable doing this can be a very good asset to have in the business world. Presentations are a big part of the coporate world. Aquiring good confidence from speaking in front of your classmates can be an invaluble part of your personality when you take the leap from school to work.
School is an invaulbe asset to and many people do not realize it. It shapes people and helps determine how they will turn out when then are fully matured. Not only does it teach you many valuble skills but it helps to set you on the path in which you follow for the rest of your life. .
