Many says that "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world." It was a powerful line given by Nelson Mandela which explains the whole importance of education in everyone. We are experienci­ng severe poverty, gender inequaliti­es, political and religion problems nowadays but we shouldn't let those problems mutilate the connection and bond that we have between each one of us. That's the main reason why education is very important, aside from the everlastin­g knowledge we'll acquire, it will also provide us with opportunit­ies that we can use to build a better future. Everyone wants to finish college with degrees, that's why other students tend to give all their efforts and strength in studying and getting good grades. They can even sacrifice the numbers of sleeping hours they have in order to finish the requiremen­ts they need to submit. But the worst part of giving their efforts is when no one appreciate­s everything that they have been done and getting the lowest possible grade for them. Pressure and stress are the main reasons why students doesn't enjoy the presence of knowledge every time they learn something new. It is because their minds were focused on getting good grades rather than learning new and interestin­g things. Through severe pressure, students tend to kill themselves because they can't bare the stress, unfair treatment and being disvalued by others. According to the Emory University's Suicide Statistics, the rate of suicide is between 0.5 and 7.5 per 100,000 among students. That means pressure and stress are part of the reasons why the suicidal rate is increasing. Everyone should lend a helping hand and keep on inspiring the students who wants to give up everything especially their lives. Precious your life as to show respect with your self.
