Defining Success


i chose to define education with succes. For me, educational success is measured by what someone can attain after they have finished their schooling.  There are some things I believe someone must be able to do after they finish college in order to be considered an educational success.  For example, some things are: 

The ability of a person to support themselves in society after they have completed their educational process.  In today’s world, I believe most people need to go to college and perhaps go beyond a 4-year college degree.   

They must purse a Master’s or professional degree like that of a medical doctor or lawyer if they are to get paid well;  

they must be able to get along with others and cooperate and collaborate with others in society to do good for others;  

they must be able to communicate well with others and share ideas that will make this world a better place; and they must be responsible and act with compassion when dealing with other people. 

For me, it is one thing, a good thing, for people to finish high school and go on to college and graduate there.  However, if they do not become productive members of our society in all the ways I listed above, then I do not think they can be considered an educational success.
