Education is Key

It is important to realize the important priorities in life. People choose necessities, such as money and clothes and shoes, as their top priority, but are those “idolatries” truly worth it or will it last for the rest of your life. Each year I create a new list of priorities to focus on, but the two items that never change are God and education. In the human world, education is the only thing that will guarantee us success in life. Even a high school diploma can guarantee a slightly decent job. Education opens doors and windows to new opportunities beyond imaginable. My mother, for example, graduated from pharmacy school at the University of Southern California (USC), and immediately worked as a licensed pharmacist. She worked as a pharmacist for over 30 years and is still continuing to work at her profession. Even today, other companies offer her higher job positions because of her excellent work in the field and the education she holds in her mind and on her record.
