Chapter 12 -Significance of Education
Education has become much more valuable to society, as well as more available. It provides the foundation for success in many individuals. Nearly every job or career requires some type of education, whether it would be a high school diploma or a college degree in the particular field. The higher the education, the more likely it will be to obtain the desired career. Professions that require some sort of degree also tend to be more secure and have a higher pay rate. Education once was offered only to white men, leaving women and anyone not considered "white" without the opportunity to become more successful in life. I feel that because of this more people now are inclined to continue their schooling and get a higher degree. People used to follow in their parents footsteps without question. The more fortunate people - "the rich" were the ones who would be able to receive a higher education. Since so many people were less educated they would be considered a step behind in today's society. Therefore, every parent strives to give higher education to their children and sends them to prestigious schools no matter how expensive it is. Or maybe they even send them to other high developed countries to make them study there and earn higher degree of education. Of course it helps them gain a higher degree diploma, makes the person more intellectually stimulating, and develops the personal growth contribution to the social and economic development of society and ensuring to have a good career or future jobs. In my country a good knowledge of English and high education diploma are greatly valued. And the person who have graduated from foreign developed countries get higher position at organization or company and get paid at higher salary. For two years, I have been working in IT Solution Company as a Foreign Relation Manager translating all required documents/contracts and having contacts with our foreign suppliers. However, I have always feeling that my education and English is not sufficient for my position. Therefore, I came to USA to get higher education and to be able to meet all requirements for obtaining my desired career and feel confident about myself no matter how it is expensive to me and my family. I believe, my desired education in USA will greatly change my future and I will have great success in my life.

Chapter-17 Persuasive Writing
Computers In Our Life
Don’t know anything about computers? Don’t think they are a big part of your life? Think again! Computers are incredible machines that improve our lives in many areas like education, entertainment, and work. The use of computers in and out of school has made improvements in the way we learn. College students having easy access to computers for various school related tasks’ like changing complete blocks of text on a term paper in a split second, using graphics to better express a particular point or idea, and being able to blog it on the web is one the main value of using computers in our ordinary lives. Furthermore, the use of computers in the home has extended the hours we can learn at a higher level without the environmental pressures of school or work thereby improving the way we learn. Another example of our expanding choices is that you can not only watch movies on DVD (Digital Video Disc) but re-edit them with your own sound tracks and special effects, listen to music on CD-Rom’s, even manufacture your own cartoons or even your own movies and write your own melodies and all of them on a computer. Moreover, the ability of the computer to link a person with others from far away places where conversations without inferences are sparked and ideas are exchanged internationally is a popular selection for millions everyday as a choice for entertainment. I also think the working environment where computers are used is becoming more and more diverse. As an example, my father the Courier of Japan Engines have computers in his truck hooked up to GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) systems that not only tell him where to go and how much time it will need to reach at one destination to another but also programmed to make sure my father or the courier’s at Japan Engine’s were punctual to be at time to the final destination or the client location. Another way diversity is becoming the norm is with the entry of wireless technology that has made it possible for mobile “laptop” computers to be linked up to a global network, not just for the mobile office, but for the person sitting on a beach on some south pacific island and still being able to attend a meeting in London England is diversity at the extreme. Computers are really fascinating and becoming more and more amazing everyday as they weave their way into our lives. Don’t think you know anything about computers? You really do, without knowing it maybe you have been using them for a long time. Don’t think they are a big part of your life? Without even realizing it computers have worked their way into just about every aspect of our everyday lives. From waking in the morning, to the food at the dinner table, to the movie afterwards, computers have influenced the way we live and will continue to do so on our future life.
