From the beginning of time, man needed education. Without it, he would not know how to survive. However, the factors involved with education can prove to be an obstacle for some, including myself. Education prevented me from having fun and it greatly challenged me. It constantly added more work to my daily life. I practically spend every weekend studying for tests, doing homework or working on projects. Despite my hatred towards work, I know that receiving an education will make my life much easier. To be educated, I would need to go to school. .
It all begins with kindergarten and usually ends with graduation from college. Between those time periods, there is much hardship, obstacles and mental torture. I remember entering kindergarten feeling scared, alone and confused. I did not understand what school was all about. All I knew was that my parents forced me to go there. While I continued on with school, I realized I had to know things in order to succeed and be happy in life. This made me want to acquire more knowledge. It was clear that learning was not fun, and to change that, I needed friends to make school more interesting and exciting. .
Towards the end of my kindergarten year, I had many friends and discovered the basic steps of being a good student. As I got older, school became much harder. Particularly now, in the twelfth grade. My weakest subject, which happens to be English, gives the toughest homework assignments. To me, a difficult assignment would be to write an essay or prepare for a speech. I can barely write simple essays because I cannot think of interesting topics to write about. That=s probably one of my main problems with essays. I also find my lack of imagination and not top-notch grammar skills to be some of my other weak points. .
Performing presentations is another immense obstacle that=s in my way. I have a tendency to become a nervous wreck when delivering a speech. I know I must overcome these obstacles, and the best way would probably be to ask for help and practice more frequently.
