Life is a really big struggle. Everyone has their big moments in life. Every person gets an opportunity to prove his or her mettle in the highest stage – on the stage of life. To make the most of the given opportunity, one needs skill and temperament. Everyone is born with talent, with a certain degree of skill, but that skill needs to be put to practical use where it can benefit the person directly, and given proper direction, that skill can benefit others around as well. Happiness is something we all pursue, we all wish to seize. True happiness lies in helping other people achieve their goals, helping yourself achieve the things you wished to be. Skill is something that every single human being possesses. It is just a matter of expressing it and tapping it in its entirety.

One weapon that everyone has access to, to hone their skill is knowledge. Knowledge is that one thing, which when put to use properly fetches happiness. Knowledge is the key to success and honing that knowledge, helps understand your skill set better. Knowledge can mould a fledgling, into a strong bird, lifting the bird up and helps it in scaling great heights. It gives you the freedom to choose the right from the wrong, and helps you understand and learn from your past mistakes giving you vital experience.

So you may wonder, why is college important? College in this context is very vital because it is the embodiment of knowledge. It is the institution which moulds you as an individual into a fine young man or into a fine young woman, giving you various survival skills. Skills that are put to practical use in your professional life, giving you the power to face the world, the power to scale heights and to reach for the skies.

Every child has a dream, and for that fledgling who dream to become truly big, education plays a crucial role. Once a child reaches the stages of adulthood, after high school, he/she gets the first glimpse of life. That first lease of independence needs a lot of preparation, professionally, personally and character wise, there needs to be a general shift in paradigm. You need greater acumen, sharper social skills and a nice character. All this is bred into each child since childhood right through school, but it peaks at the right moment in a college.

That is why college education is important. It is that preparatory platform which moulds you as an individual, gives you the weapons to face the harsh realities of life, and prepares you for that ongoing journey, enriching your life with experiences that you tend to reminisce during the latter stages of your life. When you enter college, you enter the portals of knowledge as a teenager on the verge of adulthood, and when you leave it, you carry along with you happy memories, memories of a long lasting friendship, of skills garnered, of etiquette gained and most importantly, you define yourself as an individual, traits that makes you unique and individualistic are brought out to the fore. You finally emerge out of college as an adult, and this is why college is important.
