 === Education is essential in allowing young adults to grow mentally, psychologically and socially. I can't imagine what my life or mind-set would be like if I did not have education in my life. It assisted me in getting to know myself, set goals for my future and expand my interests in life. A decent education is such an important growth factor in young adults. Sever**al of the**   articles researched prove my point by showing how education is critical in a young person's life. ===


=== Education lets a young adult build values, responsibility and morals. Nancy L. Brown [2] says that, “Teens who are connected to school are also less likely to be participating in high risk activities, like drinking, smoking, and early sexual activity.” This explains how young adults automatically predict wrong from right by distracting themselves with school. Challenging themselves with school work allows them to have logical moralistic values. Dennis Bass [3] states the purpose of public education by saying, “We want our next generation to be prepared for assuming the responsibility of guiding our society. “ One of the goals for education is for young adults to build responsibility by being responsible for their grades, their social life, and maintaining control of their life. ===


=== Having extra curricular activities in school available to students, gets them more involved in their regular school work. Jennifer L. Gay and Sara Corwin [1] emphasize academic statistics by stating, “Participation in after school programs is associated with increases in academic achievement and improved behavior in students at risk.” By personal experience, this is very close to being factual. During my freshman year, I chose to get involved in almost five different activities outside of my regular classrooms. Being involved in outside activities did improve my focus inside the classroom. I started to achieve the highest grades that I never received before. ===

=== A good education also lets a person figure out their goals in life and creates expectations for themselves by learning about the world around them. “Giving a child an education not only keeps them busy, it opens up their world and helps them understand the interconnectivity of systems - the earth, human bodies, families, neighborhoods, communities, countries, and the universe." If you are informed and know about things around you, you can make better decisions in life. Nancy L. Brown points out how education benefits a person later on in their life. By learning all of these things, it allows people to be open to other options in life. They can find out what they would like to pursue in life and what they would like to achieve. ===


=== Without education, a young adult's growth is incomplete. Overall, education is extremely important in a young adult's life. Education influences them for who they are going to be in the future. Knowledge is power. I can honestly say that without school, my teachers, my peers and textbooks, I would be an entirely different person. === <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">
