In my life school plays a big part, even though I don't really like to work for it. Since I have an exact idea where my way is going to take me, I work towards it. I remember the elementary school well because I liked to visit it. Only mathematics has always been a subject which I have hated and even nowadays I don't really like it. Somehow my understanding for maths is missing. At grammar school I was mobbed, this was not nice at all and the result of this was that I felt bad very often. Also here it was the subject mathematics that stressed me.
At the moment I'm visiting the grammar school in XX and here I like it very much. I think that nowadays it's important to finish school with a certificate (A Level) because only this way you can carry on studying at a university. Even companies ask for this exam as a qualification when you apply for a job. Of course I ask myself very often what I need e.g. Ancient Greek for? On the other hand I think that what I know, noone can take away from me again. Without a solid education it is difficult to find a well paid job. I think that my school education here in Italy is another advantage for further studies.
Applicants who speak several languages in addition to the qualifications might have a better chance for a good job than others who don't speak languages. This is why I think that school is important, if you consider that in many countries of the world school education is not natural. This is why I want to finish school with a certificate, afterwards finisch a university education in Austria and Italy, maybe work abroad for some years and after this have a family. Many choose this the other way round, don't bother finishing school and end up at the employment office. But this is not my way.....
