19. School Attendance


School attendance should be mandatory because intelligence is POWER. School is more than education, it brings friends together and creates family bonds that last forever. Sports for example gives way to a brighter school with a mandatory GPA being higher than a 2.0. A fail in attendance forbids a sport achievement from being accomplished. In school we may feel alone at times, but friends are there to help you succeed. Study groups can be made to help anyone in need, because everyone has more knowledge in something you may lack. If we are able to capture different ideas from many scholars the possibilities are endless. The average student becomes bored of what education has to offer, but for many others who wished they had freedom or money to become useful with their lives it's sad to see students complain of what POWER is being given. Intelligence is POWER, but the power we receive determines the nation we live in. Europe's great sculptors would cease to exist, Asia's education with economics would decrease slowly, and the United States would have more fast food joints open up. Our nation is known as the most overweight nation in the world, but our achievements speak louder than our stomachs. From the creation of the Declaration of Independence to invention of the Cotton Gin, America has been moving forward with new inventions and equal rights. Our founding fathers, among them one of the most brilliant men who contributed to our nation with philosophy and free thought, came together and used their POWER to make our nation as best it can be. Right now schools are being closed and people are losing their jobs because of our economic issues. Soon i fear education will be closed off and books will be our masters, mentors, professors, and POWER containers. A new generation is upon us and as the past fades, knowledge will not. Our nation, our home, our POWER will prosper if we take advantage of what is offered before us. No education = No Security, No Security = No LIFE
