Student Name: Edgar Nelton Gaspar ID #:UB17921BBU25745

Education is the most intimate and the most far- reaching of human Endeavours. Through education we recall the words of our parents and touch the hearts and minds of our children. Through education we interpret nature, build civilizations and construct the world of science, art and culture. Education deserves our closest attention. It merits the best efforts of thought we can supply. Education is always thought of as the job of schools. Everyone has suggestions about the best way to educate. All the factors are debated, studied and old or new ideas continually tested. My view is not of an educator but one who loves to share what I learn. The importance of education is very clear. Education puts your potential to greatest use. I will say that a Man is in proper sense only when he educates himself. When I started secondary school I wanted to be an Architect. I was really good in geometry and I enjoyed it. Once I mastered geometry I would be able to finish my assignments and continue with my career.

Nowadays many changes in technology have affected education. The impact of technology on education is an example of how technology has changed our lives. Our great grand fathers never got the opportunity to study in classrooms with projectors and they never had an access to the internet and various other technology equipments. Computers, presentations and the internet technology has given teaching the altogether different era. Education has become computer dominated in this era and it has gone beyond notebooks and blackboards. Computer education has played a major role in college education all across the world and it is the key to make the students capable enough to meet company requirements. These days distance education has changed the way of gaining knowledge. It is not important to be present in a classroom to hear a lecture or understand assignments. This does not mean that teacher and student interaction has been replaced by technology development, but it means that students located in different countries can easily get access to any lecture through video conference. Institutions of distance education like AIU attempt to provide to their students a complete education curriculum from enrollment to examination that is equal in quantity, quality and status to that offered to ordinary students in colleges and universities around the world.

In Conclusion I will not limit myself by the curriculum for my career in Business Administration but will instead be flexible and open to new ideas and strategies. I will continually provide valuable learning experience in my work place.
