improvement for the better

          This film has impacted me in a way that opened my eyes to what education really is about. I grew up thinking that going to school is a waste of time and pointless and that waking up so early in the morning is not well worth the time.  But if you really think about it, we’ve been thought since the first time we were able to recognize things and see what they really are. I’ve had this mind set that going to school is just to get money out of our pockets and torture us into learning things that won’t apply to us in the real world, but after seeing the lives that Greg Mortenson was able to impact by bringing an education to those who are less fortunate that I had ever ben, to those that are more willing to learn that I am. This film was able to show me, that even though most of my time was spent at the school learning something, it was well worth the time to be able to know things that will eventually help you in the mere future. As my grandfather once said, “you never stop learning until you’re six feet under ground.” School just opens up our mind to greater things that are happening in the world around us. The difference that makes third world countries diverse than America, is that they learned to adapt to different situation their homes put them in, they got use to working their whole lives to make their families live longer and stronger, to keep them out of harms way. While we find ways to make out home, our lives, our wealth, and our looks better than our neighbors. So in certain ways we are the lucky ones, but in others they are luckier than our advantages. Say the world, as we know it, ends today. Our technology is on the fritz, everything battery-operated, motor-powered, electricity dependent possessions become obsolete, how would we be able to cope without our most prized possessions? And yet they were unable to experience any of these objects, they would be able to live on with their lives just the same.
