Education is one of the most controversial topics there is. Some people believe that going to school is a decision that everyone makes individually; others say it is mandatory to attend school. I personally believe that education is one of the most important things in life, therefor it should be mandatory to go to school. Education is what eventually leads you to success. If we wouldn’t go to school we would have never learned how to read or write. Here in the U.S students have the decision to drop out in high school, in other countries students have to drop out because they aren’t able to pass intellectual tests or simply because they can’t afford paying for school. I strongly believe that people here in the U.S should take advantage of the education system since school is free and we have the advantage of being able to borrow books instead of having to pay for each book. In Mexico few people are the ones who finish high school, college, or even elementary. The education system in Mexico is very limited students have to pay for school each semester , books, supplies, and even uniforms, students in the U.S don’t have to worry about none of that. If we weren’t to be educated our society will be complete chaos and the U.S would be very weak. We wouldn’t know what decisions to make when problems like war were to come. If people were less educated, they wouldn’t know who to choose when it would come to elections. Also our economy would inflate and eventually lead to major problems like a depression. The story of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury exemplifies how ignorant society would become if people didn’t become educated. For this is why I strongly believe that attending school should be mandatory.

If I had the ability to communicate with, one species of animals I would choose to speak to a dolphin. Dolphins are one of the most intelligent and amiable mammals in the sea. If I were able to communicate with a dolphin ,I would be able to know about all the diverse sea creatures that exist in the ocean. I would know where is it that they migrate to during the summer or winter. If I were to communicate with a dolphin I would try helping them with problems in the ocean such as pollution problems that are causing mutations on sea creatures. I would also be able to know what is it that they are saying with the various sounds they make.  I would  be able to ask what is that makes the know when danger is ahead of them.It would be of great advantage to be able to communicate with dolphins,due to the fact that if I were to loose something in the ocean I would be able to ask them if they area able to help me find it. I simply believe dolphins would be of great help to people if we were to communicate with them.
