Free Education

As one of many students in the United States that recive free education, I know that there are hundreds if not thousands of kids, like me, who aren't taking advantage of the extremly valueble reasources and opportunites were given. For some kids, its because there oblivious to what's out there, for some kids, it's that they think they can't, and , for the rest we just have no motivation.

There are plenty of reasons to go to school. The most obvious is that to be able to get a job and survive in the real world everyone needs a good education. If not just for yourself then for all the people who spend valuable time and money on you, when they could be spending the money on more important things like kids in Uganda. I mean we are going to school for FREE and we're NOT EVEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT!

We might do chores and favors for our parents, but it's nothing compared to what they're doing for you, giving you a opportunity to take care of yourself or rather an easier life when you're older. With all the incentives people still seem to not have a reason to excel in academics. How is it that we can insist on doing nothing while so many others are there helping you, pushing you. If anything people like that should be the ones in Uganda. There are people not able to break from poverty because they dont have the opportunity to. Thoes are the people that should be where I am. Still, how can we be this unmotivated?
