"Education opens doors where none seem to be open."

Education opens doors where none seem to be opened. I agree with this statement. I say this because without education there is not really much one can do for a job. This world is a man eat man world. If someone wants to make a secured living they should get an education. For example, Mark lived in a slum; he felt that, that was where he was always going to live. He felt that when he grew up, he would live there too, nothing would change. Many people who live in such poor conditions feel the same way. This is because life is hard, and thus people do not feel they have any opportunities, because for starters they may be illiterate, and second they have not seen their parents moving out from the slums. It is such a sad mentality, because they never explore the options that they have. However, when he got an education his perspective changed. He decided that he would do anything to stay in school later on. He even works in order to make money to pay his school fees. He realised that his education could get him out of the slums. I believe that being able to have an education is such a blessing. I am forever grateful that I have one. I will never drop out of school so that I can make a better life for myself.
