I could write a dissertation on this subject but I'll attempt to be brief.
- Knowledge is power
- The future belongs to those who prepare for it today
- If I knew then what I know now
- Education equals freedom
There are numerous quotes about the importance of education for a reason, your brain is the most important muscle you have. As this muscle is developed so is every other aspect of your life. Your health, career, social status, opportunities, life experiences etc. - all improve as your knowledge on the respective topics grow. Whats more, the more you empower a person with an education, the more empowered that persons legacy will be because they will teach their children. Education is the one thing that can never be taken away.
If education weren't so important, there never would have been a law forbidding slaves to learn.

I agree! Being able to comprehend, communicate, and compute is empowering! Add some critical thinking and willpower and one becomes virtually unstoppable. I think poor young people (of color, specifically) do know that these skills are relevant but they don't believe that the results are for them.
