How does your current or present educational system prepare you to face the
21st century?

My present educational system is honing me to become an enhanced

person and be fully equipped for the future. Like in school, I am trained on how to
properly deal with guests and how to serve them and by that it makes me more
knowledgeable, more idealistic, and more prepared when I’m about to face the
real world. I am also taught on how to speak publicly and it makes me an
effective communicator because as we all know my field requires a lot of
interaction so it is very much important to be an effective communicator. The
present educational system that I am currently with provides new set of
perspectives or options, like new ways on how to acquire new learnings through
the use of technology, specifically Internet and with that I am very fortunate
because it provides easy access. Lastly, present educational system has also a
setback, it’s expensive and sometimes I don’t get what I deserve because I
myself take for granted it, but now as realization dawns on me I decided to focus
give more importance to education because I know in myself that I will harvest
what I planted.
