Description
What is the purpose of getting a college education? Why are we here? There comes a point in every students college career when we ask ourselves questions like these. It may be that we are here because it was what people expected us to do. Maybe we always planned on going to college and never thought otherwise. Or, maybe we are here because we want to earn more money or make a better future for ourselves.
Whatever the reason we came here, we are all trying to accomplish the same thing. We want to get an education. In the movie “Higher Learning,” Laurence Fishburne plays a professor at racially-torn Columbus University. While the university and the events portrayed are fictional, Fishburnes message to his students is not. The purpose of a college education, he says, is simply to learn to think.
We want to learn to be critical, to ask questions and to seek out answers. We want to learn to communicate with others, and to get our point across.
