In Haitian students' own words:

"Why education is important.
All over the world people look for to be educated. Then they think that it is important. Why is it important? In some lines above I am going to give some reasons for education is important.
Education is the first way that a person must choose in life if he want to be better. When someone goes to school, he learns something which can help him tomorrow. He is educated, so he can have a lot of money because he will find a job. Education helps people have knowledge of something which posses all over the world without be there, where the situation or event happens. If someone wants to build a house, he can’t take someone else who has never gone to college so as to learn geometry but he will need someone who knows geometry. It is an effect of education. Someone who can speak languages of other people is an effect of education .
After talking of these things about education, I certify that it is very important."

"Why education is important.
It is so important to give the best way for education. There are several reasons to say that education is very important for whatever nation. The world can not work without education because for a nation is a good nation it’s vital it have education. Yet, in Haiti we have a problem. The people who live in Haiti do not know what education can do. For this reason Haiti is in this situation. Education is the life why because of education if you know it well you can lead all over the world. A country which doesn’t have education is a country dead. All through the world education is key of a nation and stand also. For this reason that we can say education is the best road that we can pass for arriving in life."
