Expectation of Education and Popular Culture

            In the present day, education is regarded as one of the most important tools of life. As a result I believe that with education, I am able to fight ignorance and thus become more knowledgeable, enhance my level of critical thinking and also enhance my understanding of the world around us. Through reading broadly and researching I believe that I am able to gain numerous knowledge that is important for the survival in the present day world. That is the reason I prefer to further my education up to this point. If it were not for the greater expectations that I have in education, I do not believe that I would be where I am today.

            One of our greatest motivation for educations, is that we are motivated by the fruits that come along with becoming educated. Some of these motivations are a good job, good house and to be able to earn a living. These may be perceived as secondary expectations but it is important to highlight that these goals are the very reason as to why most individuals have embraced education in the present day, especially the young population. In the present day, sites such as YouTube one of the common sites across the United States. Most individuals are able to gain from it in one way or another. The website has everything that one would require and thus on can get videos that relate to a certain subjects or even videos that motivate one to continue working hard in education. In the present day most students my age, perceive the YouTube one of the best site and easy to use site. An individual is able to subscribe to the channels that he or she believes that are of interest to him or her. For example if we had a lecture in the morning that discussed about recession, it would be very easy for me to be able to get other videos that discuss about recession in America in depth. Such channels in YouTube also embrace the use of humor in teaching and thus most us (students) are able to relate to the learning with ease. YouTube has become one of the best pop cultures for many students across the United States and most of the students are able to relate to the videos since no one knows them and also it is better due to the fact that one is able to rewind, forward or even play over and over so as to be able to enhance understanding. There are also numerous posts on real one on one interviews of individuals that have been able to succeed in education, regardless of their background and thus becoming a constant source of motivation.

My Education




My Education

Being the eldest girl in our family, my high school experience was very new, and unexpected. In Saudi Arabia, girls and boysare not allowed to be in the same class and thus in high school I was at a pure girl’s school, Fiarest High School. Due, to the conservative nature of the Kingdom, being in high school was a great experience for me and most of my siblings mainly looked at me as a role model and a source of hope of and motivation.

Over the years, the Saudi Kingdom had liberalized the system of education especially towards the girl’s school. This enabled me to have a normal high school experience and enjoy the facilities just like the other males in the boy’s school. For the first time in high school was allowed to pursue a wide range of subject and this made me very excited about school. In fact my whole perception about high school changed. I remember going back home and advising my siblings to work so hard so that they could get to high school since they would get an opportunity to study what they loved the most. Our schools were equipped with latest state of the art technology and thus we had significant facilities that we would enjoy during our free hours.

I must say it is in high school where I was able to sharpen my social skills and thus I was able to gain a lot of friends who were very helpful. Friends who we not only shared the good times but also shared our past experiences and the solutions to the day to day challenges that we faced as the girls of the next generation. It was there that I got the zeal to work and study abroad so that I could one day make an impact to the Kingdom. I owe my actualization to the great teachers that teachings that I was able to gain during my years in class. Despite facing some rebelliousness from some of the people around me in relations to school and conservative nature of the school. As for me I never let such things get into my head I would frequently visit my guidance and counselling teacher who would constantly encourage and also remind me of the saying “If you educate a girl, you educate a nation.” The saying never slipped my brain and I believe that I would be able to achieve all my goals as a result of the inspiration from the people that cared about me such as Mrs Farouq, the guidance and counselling teacher.
