I believe education should be the road map to life. I chose this at my metaphor because it is the perfect outlook of what education should represent. You are attending school and receiving an education so that you can be successful in everyday life. You learn you basic language, math, history, etc through school but you also learn a whole lot more. The basic curriculum is extremely useful as you go, as an example reading. You cannot survive one day with out reading unless you sit and stare at the television that does not show words, which is highly unlikely. You need these basic skills to create the journey you are embarking on called education. While on this journey you also learn core skills for everyday interaction as well. Language is an obvious but within your education you learn manners and meaning of things around you. One thing that I have learned from school that sticks out most to me and is probably not a section at all within curriculum is people and their feelings. I have learned so much from school about how to treat others with the utmost respect and that with this they will treat you the same. The road map that teachers set out for us is the perfect example of how they give us education. Although some people struggle with this road map I feel as though it is worthwhile. The road map guides you through the tough times as well as easy but really sets your life straight. With out education you do not have much and I am sure that life will be a struggle. In today's society it is extremely hard to get a substantial job with just a high school degree. People want the experience of higher education. Using the metaphor of a road map you can see that education sets up your life, the map will lead you in the right direction of success. There may be some wrong turns along the way but there is always someone there within the education system to turn you back onto the right path.
