Fast Tracking

During the days of old, children would really thrive and work hard to be able to go school. They will really sacrifice blood and sweat especially those who were interested. They wanted to obtain good education even desperate. How about you? Do you know what education is for?

Education serves as a passport to a stable job, key to a better life and a key to empowerment. But it seemed that to some students of this generation, education does not mean much. If they knew its value, they would study hard and take the tests with focus and concentration.

Many students, especially those who are from lower sections, take their tests very fast. The tests good for one hour are taken only for more or less 30 minutes. Are these students geniuses? Are they speed readers?
Geniuses? No, they are not. Likewise they aren’t speed readers as well. In fact, they don’t read the questions at all. They don’t also write in shorthand. Teachers say some answer sheets are almost empty.

Education is the key to better lives. A person may be poor for now, but if he gets good education and take it with efforts, definitely, he will not be poor for the rest of his life. After all hard times and sacrifices, there will be a relief especially if you love and value what you are sacrificing for and not just taking it for granted. So if you are taking a test, take your time in answering and review them after.

My mother told me how she was so eager and determined to have a good education. And in every examination, they really beg their teacher for few more time to review their answers. As a result ,in every recognition, she was an honor student and a salutatorian in high school. All efforts and hard works were recognized by the school every after the school year.

If previously, education is really valued by students, why wouldn’t we, the present generation?
