Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary General has rightly said, “Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.” My precious possession is my education. My education is the way to my future happiness. It is the power by which I can create any type of future I want.
My education is my power. The skills and the right attitude that I am learning through education are preparing me for the challenges of life. Education is equipping me to know the difference between the right and the wrong. Not only it is showing me the way as a guiding light, it is also indicating me the right direction I must move forward to.

One always takes pride in the inheritance one receives from his forefathers. When I talk about inheritance, it's both material and sublime, that is beyond the scope of words. Since I need to describe it in words, I'm bound to focus on the material possessions, for they can be easily perceived and authenticated.
Out of all the material possessions, the most precious one is an English grammar and composition book that my father used when he was a student. During my studies, though I must have used many different grammar books, but my father's book had always been close to my heart as well as mind. It was always my favorite reference book whenever I had any doubt or whenever I wanted some good speeches or excerpts, that book came handy.
The times have changed since then and not only language, but its users have also changed drastically. At such transition, the essays and passages from the book still work as guiding force or solution at the time of crisis. I feel grateful that he left such a wonderful book for me.
