Closed mind v.s Open mind

For years students have been dreading going back to school for all different kinds of reasons. But I find that people with an open mind set have more of a chance for a successful future. As a student I often hear my pears say, "Oh well I'm not really sure what I want to do, I'm really just going to school because my parents want me to ," yes I know that a higher education is not for everyone and that not everyone has the opportunity to go, but for those that do shouldn't they take advantage? What todays society needs to realize is that the problem is not the schooling system that needs to change it is the students that are unwilling to learn. The students have the power to have an open or closed mind it is their decision to decide.  

“Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.” 
― Benjamin Franklin

Today's generation is all about starting from the bottom and ending on top when in reality most of the students today do not want to do what it takes to get there. Kids today always want to find the easy way out it's easy when we live in a world where copy and paste is only a click away, and where texts books are no longer needed because we all have smart phones. It's sad to say but kids today are more wrapped up in becoming rich and famous and would rather have a life that you need money and fame to be happy. In todays society having a good education and being able to have a good job is no longer considered being successful, being successful is getting all the girls and living it up while you are young. As students we need to step up and not let go of ourselves and our dreams we need to work hard and not take the easy way out.
