After viewing Darryll Suliman Amoako's spoken word performance "Why I Hate School But
Love Education" in class recently, we were left with this question to answer, "Education is the Key?"I believe that education is the key to success in someone's life. It may be hard to believe because, there are many celebrities and many successful people that we know in this world that have not been to school for most of their lives. In the video, Darryll gave examples like Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, etc. Those people have not been to school to get their degrees like some other people have, but somehow they still got something out of their lives. I guess that depends on someone's luck to be honest, because if I ever dropped out of school like they did, I don't know where my life would be later in the future. From where I come from, I have been taught that education is the key to success no matter what. School is the place you need to be in order to gain that education, if you don't have it will be hard for you to find your way out.
My intentions for this course is, to develop a better understanding of my future career which is Broadcasting in Journalism. I am looking forward to learn everything I will be needing to help me with this career, and most importantly to create an outstanding portfolio that I will be submitting to the post secondary schools I'll be applying to very soon. I am excited for this course as well because, it's preparing me for University and what I will be expecting there, based on the introduction of this course the first day of school.
In the future, writing will be a part of my everyday life considering the fact that my career revolves around it and taking this class will help me improve grammar, sentence structure, etc. Mostly, everything that will make me a better writer, I believe my teacher will provide me the greatest learning experience by teaching me, as well as helping me improve these skills and prepare me for what's ahead of me, University.
