Many parents and teachers believe that the most valuable education come from school. Others believe it comes from “real life”. I believe that the most valuable comes from real life and school because in school your opinion isn’t really heard, and everyone is expecting students to act the same. In school you can learn some very important things that can help you understand life. I feel that everyone has a different opinion and view on things so in real life that’s where you will see/hear those. At school there is not a lot of originality everyone wants to be something they are not. In real life you see A LOT of different people and that is what the most valuable education comes from. In real life you learn a lot. Some parents and teachers believe that the most valuable education comes from school, but some things school teaches us doesn’t prepare us from what we are about to face in the “real world”. In “real life” people we learn how to face many problems. School teaches you the basics like learning to read and count. You need to know how to read so you know what you are reading and in some cases to know what you are signing your name too. If you do not understand that then you will not get too far in life. “Real Life” teach you about people and how they act and react to things. It tells you what you need to know to get through it. Both of them helps you have a good successful but it’s mostly about the type of person you are.

Legendary NFL coach Vince Lombardi coined the phrase: “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” Many people agree that the development of a person’s character is more important than winning at everything. Others may argue that winning //__ is __// everything, and this is what leads to personal success and glory. Explain what you believe this quote to mean. Do you agree or disagree with the author? In your essay, take a position on this question. You may write about either one of the two points of view given, or you may present a different point of view on the question. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position. I believe that the quote means winning isn’t important if you played right. Most people take winning very serious and will do anything to win. Others feel that win or lose as long as I tried my hardest I won. I agree with the author of this quote because it is a true one. If you played the game right and tried your hardest inside you should feel like a winner, even if you lost. That is why I think that this is a quote. Working hard and succeeding is one thing, but when you tried your hardest and still lost it shouldn’t be that bad. At least you know that you did try hard to do what you had to do. Vince Lombardi quote was something that everyone should think about when they compete. I also say I agree with him on that because it something I believe too. I think that the way you play matters the most. If you cheat during the game then your win is irrelevant and doesn’t count. If you play right and have good intentions when you win, then you won humbly. That is why I believe the quote means that winning isn’t important.
