1. Value of Education We all know education is important. Education gets people good jobs. But education requires commitment and sacrifice. Then you must work harder for the reward. It cannot be achieved by just listening and completing. It can only be achieved by Thinking, connecting ideas, by reading, finding answers to solving our problems. And of course, building. Building our country, our people, our economy, and our nation. In 1957, the Russians beat us to the moon. We were amazed. After that moment, we added more money to our education. Math and Science became more important. 10 years later, we finished our goal! We made it to the moon in 10 years. We put time, money, research, our mind, and our smarts in it. If we just turn off the TV, we can succeed even more. I have read in TIMES magazine we are number 17 out of 25. We took tests and got in 17 th place out of 25 th place. America is the world’s 17 th smartest country? If we could just put more time into school, and put a keyboard in our hands….We can make ideas, and can become greater with innovation, obligation, hyperlinking, and remember that Sputnik moment, we can become greater with innovation, obligation, hyperlinking, and remember that sputnik moment. We can become greater, all we need to do is make sacrifice, to get the reward. It may not occur to us kids, but we need education. Video games and TV’s required education to make them. We can create games of our own with education. Life is like a game of monopoly. We need to make money. Get cities. Pay taxes. But to do that, we must learn. We need to find a good job. The kids are like the next era of America, even the world. To succeed we must have education. The world was built off of inventions and dreams. To accomplish this dream or invention we must be educated. To learn physics or how to work superconductors and robotics. To make military weapons or something for the public, you need to have confidence and commitment and being brave. We can advance so much in technology. We just need to learn how to work technology. In TIMES, there is a girl that grew up poor, but got a GREAT education. She now practically lives in a castle. Her job is being a professor at Yale. This shows you do not need to grow up rich to get a good education. Great rewards will take time. They can only be achieved by determined people, sacrifice, commitment, and success to greatness. I also read about Tiger Moms, or moms that will push their kids so far, so that they will “Succeed.” Now for the real question…. Are we lazy, or is this mom crazy? The tiger mom made her child, Lulu, practice her violin. She wouldn’t give Lulu a glass of water, dinner, or allow her to sleep until she had the piece perfect. On the mom’s birthday, Lulu made her a card. The mom rejected card ans said “ I want a card with some effort.” Surprisingly, the Tiger Mom is a hard working Chinese mother. She has been married to an American. Lulu has two sides: A lazy side, and a determined side. AS said about commitment, we need to continue. We can’t drop out. If we aren’t committed, we would fail. America just needs to take the hours from TV and build together. Technology can be invented from anything. The only thing you need too do, is to know how to make it work. Anything is technology, from plaster on the walls to ore’s in the ground. You just need to know how to make this technology work. All the materials in this world are used for something. We could make great things for the public, from laser shows to holograms, for the military, from armor to improved weapons. That. Is all we need. A little bump, to success.

2. A bump to success may take a while. But until then, we must together to ensure the Bump to success. All we need to do, is to work. Take some hours off of TV and video games. Education is important, as explained. But why? Education is good for our future for a variety of reasons. For a house, cars, and to make sure we have a good life. Inventing something is only a step away from education. Did you know that China’s Economy is increasing steadily by 10%? This looks like a good time for P.I.E. P.I.E. EDUCATION You might be asking yourself-What does P.I.E have to d with education? Actually, P.I.E stands for Persuade, Inform, and entertain. I will try my best to persuade you of believing that education is VERY important. I will try my very best to inform you that you need education. I will do my best to entertain you while trying to show you that education can be fun. Think. One day, you will need to know education for your future. You must know how to work. This message starts with Persuade. Being persuaded to learn may feel weird, but it will always teach you something new. Maybe you can plainly see something no one has ever seen before. This second message begins with Inform. From birth, you are taught the most important things-reading. You need to read to be able to work. From birth you are taught to spell, count, and see your surroundings. After birth, you learn to count simple math facts like multiplication. In your older ages, you will learn to use the knowledge you know from your younger ages to stem something new. And last but not least-I will entertain you with my last story. We all need education, which you can see. For our better future. We all need to know how to build things, and have a great life-but how can you do that, without education? You may be asking what this has to do with education. It means that self reward comes with relaxation.
