The acquisition of knowledge through formal education is not a guarantee of success, but having it is considered as the first step to the ladder of success.

          Education is a virile factor to emancipate man from the thralldom of ignorance. Ignorance that deprives a ma to explore and experience life, to his basic rights and privileges, and to find quality job because through education an individual can acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and values, attitudes and habits needed for him to achieve a desirable future.

          Being educated in a sense that an individual went to school and finish a degree would entitle him to a future life that is far from the life he has before especially when they are less fortunate. These people are the ones who really need to access quality education, an education which hones their abilities to be a productive citizen of the country.

          Acquiring it may really make sense in changing their way of life. Having the diploma or a certificate of competence may open the doors for making a quality life. The individual may have his stepping stone, the first step towards successful and fruitful life.

          It is indeed, that education is the only wealth that a parent could hand down to their children and no one could steal it from them. With this thought, children should give their parents an honor for they are provided good education, ensuring that they will live a good life in the future.

          Education nowadays is the most important weapon to fight poverty, famine and chaos. Filipino people deserved to have quality education for they are intelligent, persistent and competent individuals.
