For me, grade-school was a tiny, one-floor school in the middle of a field in a town of 15,000. Although my school was so small it had so much benefits because of the size. Teachers got to spend more time with each student as our classes were never above 20 students, our entire class was always friends since we all lived relatively very close to each other and we had a very laid back staff as most of us are from the country so we kind of had the street and outdoor smarts that most city kids do not. My small town grade school did teach me a lot and I always love going back to see a few of my favorite teachers.

Having friends and creating time to spend with them and just be social is also another important tool kids need to learn. I know myself personally, I have learned a lot from my friends and my parents friends. I found most of my friends through sports as I am more of a studious person at school. Social life is important to keep happiness levels up and stress levels down and we should and most of us do find this out at a very young age.

Growing up it wasn't just school that educated me to become ready for society. Sports had a huge impact on me learning how to become a respectful young man in my community. I grew up (and still do) playing hockey, baseball and golf. Baseball and hockey taught me the values of being on a team, helping others out and doing what is necessary to get the job done. Playing golf has taught me more about myself than anything because it is mostly a solo sport. It has taught me many things with the biggest one being respect. Golf is a gentleman's game and it demands to be treated as such, now take that attitude into society and into others.

Education is large part of learning how to become socially interactive and increase social values. For me, growing up in a very small town with a high school with under 800 kids, it was fairly easy to make friends and learn how to be social within a small community. Now, living in Oshawa, a way more populated city, it has been more difficult for me to kind of step out of my shell and make new friends. But it has been nothing short of my expectations and within time, everything becomes easier. Education helps children from a very young age on how to act in society for the most success in life.

In my personal opinion, I believe that education is so important for our country as a whole. It not only shows that Canada is a well developed and well educated country but it also really improves democracy and how it affects the people living within our borders. A smart country will make the best decision for the country as a whole 10 out of 10 times.
