Does Education need Passion?

Last Thursday, August 1, 2013, Mr. McFarland asked me a very interesting question. The question is Should a student in the Passion class be asked to critique Education? This question got me thinking. Why am I in school? I've been in school for almost my entire life; If I want to be exact, it's 14 years. That's a long time. To answer the question, I think a student or any student of any kind should critique education because it's their education. They own it. They need to know if they're really getting a good, quality education that will benefit them in the long run as in their whole lives since they spent so much time and effort in school. They've been in school for all their lives which cost them so many time, energy, and money. The least we can do is to know that the education we are getting is worthwhile. What I mean by our education being worthwhile is by we are actually learning the necessary knowledge and things that we have to learn and we can apply it in real life. That's a good, quality education. 

We've been talking about education and questioning how good the education we're getting really are. It's obvious to every one of us that education is not perfect; it's need some work. How about us? Do need some work? We're not perfect like education. Just like the topic education, a similar question can be asked to ourselves. Should a student in a passion class be asked to look into themselves? I have no right to speak for everyone. I'm not everyone. I'm not you. So, I will speak for myself in answering this question. I think when students are taking the passion class, they should really think if they are ready for the future because if these students say that they are ready for the future, they are telling you and me a bunch of lies. They know in their heart of hearts that they're NOT ready for the future. The future is a scary thing to think about. I personally not ready for the future. I want to stay in the past because I was a kid. My point is that we don't know ourselves. We don't know ourselves fully. I think passion class is created to help us figure out who we really are as individual. In order for the passion class to help us, we need to help the passion class by doing some reflections of ourselves. Like I said, I'm not perfect; so are you. In our lives and in ourselves, there are always things that we can and need to improve on so we can serve our community better and guarantee our definite success.
