#TheDreamSweeps Helping Latinos go to college!
I don’t have children but I have nephews and nieces whom I love as much as if they were my own kids. This comes with the usual suspect: anxiety about their future lives. As any parent, I want the best for them and education is the foundation for a better future. I constantly remind them that their future and dreams are in their little hands and that they do have some control over it.
Life is not easy and if you lack a good educational background the job market narrows down to very few great options. The better your education, the more opportunities for a better future and happier life. If you get to go to college, you are more likely to land a job you enjoy and that pays well. As Confucius said: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Education is important to because it broadens your horizons and can help you secure a decent earning job. Im learning this late in life.

Having a good education will improve my chances of having a good paying career. Without a career I wouldn’t be able to afford to have a place to live because I would have a hard time paying my bills. I will also have more opportunities in advancement. With a higher education I can work where I want and start higher up. My life would be more fulfilling and rewarding because I would have a career and the pay would be rewarding.

Education is important to me for two reasons. The first is because I want my son to have a good education and to reach his full potential. The second is reason is because I work in an elementary school and it means a lot to me to see my students succeed!
