I believe that the purpose of a college education is to gain more insight on what you want to learn and to open your mind to things you never thought to be possible.

For me, I think being educated means being well knowledgeable certain skills. I don’t think you need to know everything to be considered educated.

During high school, I spent a lot of my time comparing myself to others by using our grades. I always tried to do better than them in everything because if I did I thought they would think that I was smart. Since I did this, I never really found my passion for many of my classes that I probably thought I would love because I missed the purpose for the class and only worked on getting a high grade. After a while I decide that being good at everything doesn’t make you happy and it doesn’t make you educated. For me, being the best at everything just made me stressed and tired.
