Lakshmi Blog Assignment #5

According to my experience I've never been confused about my gradings in any of the classes which I have been attended. In Sri Lanka it's different than in US and it's hard to get through an exam. While US try to give students more opportunities, as a developing country government in Sri Lanka wants to cut off the educated personalities instead of having more educated people. In one hand, we have to agree in that because as a small island there are only limited opportunities available for the highly accepted jobs. As the government cannot assure for all the educated people to offer a job according to their education, they have to limit the opportunities entering to the university. But, the tragedy is although I worked hard to achieve my targets like most of the others we don't get the appreciation or the self satisfaction for what we have earned through the education. It is because to get a good job it's very important to have political interferences. If not, the education is undervalued. Education is not only for a job but to have a better life. Receiving good gradings and not having satisfaction is an insult.
