Education -
"Something that ruins your life.", or so as most teenagers say.

To me education is a very important thing in my life. Education to me is like nutrients for a plant. Plants need nutrients to grow and ultimately flowers will blossom and it will bear fruits. Similarly, education is something that prepares me for my future, something that is worth investing in for the better of my future.

But there are a variety of types of education in the world. They range from pure reading and memorisation, constant practise also known as "drilling" to hands-on practice for a better grasp of a certain topic or subject.

I myself prefer a "rojak" of these different varieties. It allows me to have a more all-rounded way of learning and that makes life alot easier for me; but the one aspect of my education which I think will be the most useful for my adult life would be the excursions to other places and not forgetting overseas trips organized by schools.

Why would this be the most important aspect for me? Firstly, going out of school to take a look at the outside world will allow me to look at how adults "survive" in the outside world. How they behave or what they should and should not do. By doing this, when I grow up and step into the boundless possibilities of society, I will be able to cope better with the unfamiliar surroundings and of course, adapt faster. Quoting what a famous English naturalist once said, "It is not the fittest nor the most intelligent that can survive, but the most adaptable to change."
