Business + Education
Equipping you with the tools you need to succeed.
School
School is either that awesome period of your life where you make a ton of friends who will stand by you your whole life, or it can become one of the loneliest places on the planet and can give you depression and anxiety. There is no in between. The grades and the classes you study are like the small print in the terms and conditions. The people around you and the emotions they ensue are what really affect you.

Mental High
High school sucks. I don't think people realize it, especially older generations, but it is actual hell now. Classes are no longer as easy as they think. Now, instead of taking biology later in high school, by freshman year, it is the first science class, and by senior year, AP Chemistry is offered.

Out of Bounds
At the start of the year, I truly hated doing my break duty. I was stuck in the west stairwell, which the hooligan element thought of as their picnic spot. The worst of our school would use it as a place to smoke, to eat their lunch then drop it over the floor, that sort of thing. Senior leadership didn’t seem very bothered. Requests for CCTV to find out who was throwing chairs around never even got an answer. In the end, I decided to use a behaviour management system perfected by the former provost of Eton.

College Degree vs. Skill Set
South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, Nelson Mandela, has been attributed to saying, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". (Strauss, 2013). Not many would argue with this statement; however, what is meant by the term "education" could be debated. The google dictionary defines education as "the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university". The exact same source also defines education as "an enlightening experience". Dictionary.com defines education as "the act or process of imparting or acquiring particular knowledge or skills, as for a profession". As one can see, there are many variations of the definition of education. Just as numerous are the avenues deemed acceptable for attaining a proper education. Education is key to success; education is key to changing the world.
