Education has the ability to alter anyone’s future in a positive way. Although some people do not care about an education, it has the ability to impact life positively. As a little girl, I struggled a lot due to the low level of education my parents had. They spent most of their time working and therefore, I had to learn how to do most things on my own. Due to my struggle as a child, I will continue my education because, otherwise, my future, family, and community will suffer.

In that situation, I will have to rent a home, and if the homeowner ever decides for my family to leave, we will have to comply with the order, whereas if it was my own home, I would not have to worry about ever becoming homeless. This is what happened to my family and I when I was a little girl. My parents never had enough money to own a property and we had to constantly be moving. This affected me negatively because I had to constantly make new friends and adapt to a new school every so often. I do not want my child to ever be put in this situation and that is why I will continue with my education. Let alone, there will also be less quality time spent as a family because I would have to work more days and longer hours to support them. My spouse and children will not receive the same amount of attention they could receive if I were working in a stable professional job. I will not be able to engage in my children’s education nor hobbies because there would be fewer days spent at home to dedicate time to them. Therefore, this can lead my child to have lower grades in school and have a hard time learning new material since they would be receiving less support from home. Lily Eskelsen Garcia (2014) stated,

My primary research interests lie in the field of machine learning and its applications to health and biology. For this reason, I am particularly drawn to the area of computational biology. My fascination with machine learning began the first time I heard of artificial neural networks. The notion of biologically-inspired computer constructs was something that immediately struck a chord with me. As my understanding of the greater subject of machine learning increased, I began to learn not only about how biology had inspired machine learning, as was the case with artificial neural networks, but also about how machine learning has been inspiring new ways of approaching biological problems.
