Is higher education worth the price?

  Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog!                       Today’s topic is about education. Is receiving a higher education worth the price? Many of you guys will have different answers on the topic. Some may agree that receiving a higher education is worth all the money in the world. Others may disagree and say that a higher education will only leave you with stress and financial burden. In my opinion having a higher education is worth all the price in the world.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today we will be talking about whether we are products of our environment or products of our expectations. I think that to be a product of an environment, we are influenced and are made to make decisions based on the type of environment we are surround by. To be a product of your expectations is that you make goals in order to meet your expectations. I think that we are a product of our expectations, no matter how hard and complicated the situation may be, we are in the power to change it. For example, people may be in a situation at home where parents or family members may have trouble with drugs, alcohol, or maintaining a job, this doesn't mean that because of the circumstance of environment, it will stay like that forever. If we are the product that is seeing how bad our environment is, we are not going to set ourselves for failure. Yes, sometimes it happens, we might not have a support system, but we should be the products of seeing high
