                 Attending school is very important because it is the only time you will get something greatly beneficial for free. School for students might be boring, however students are unaware they are here to be educated and they sometimes do not recognize the importance of having education, as well as how many doors education opens. Obtaining a higher education means you can relate what you are being taught in school and compare or familiarize with other objects as well as situations you confront, or understand the reason for why something is a specific way. Without education people who are educated and impious might find it easier to take advantage of someone who is uneducated. Oppression can prevent by having a high education. In the time of slavery African Americans were being oppressed and when an opportunity to participate and fight back was given, they were not able to succeed yet because they were not educated at the time. Laws that had been made such as the Grandfather clause purposely prevented them from their rights to voting. Since African Americans were deprived from education they were not aware the law violated the fifteenth amendment. Therefore African Americans were not able to fight back because of lack of education.  In order to not be treated as inferior or as an object you must be educated to recognize what is correct thing to do and to realize when government is injustice or trying to take advantage. Education also determines if you will obtain a higher income or if you will work at a minimum wage job. Being able to go to school is a great advantage United States has for everyone, and people should use it while they have the opportunity while other countries people are being killed because of their desire to obtain education.
