Most people recognize the importance of academic success. And yet, most of us even still underestimate the extent of its importance. Here are some of the reasons why academic excellence is so important:
- Life expectancy: One early of additional school ends life expectancy by 1.5 years (the most educated men live, on average, 14 years longer than the least educated; the most educated women live, on average, 10 years longer than the least).Âą
- Each year of education gives an 8% increase to lifetime earnings.²
- Academics help us to communicate better (which is the most important skill to develop) and to better understand and influence the world.
Education helps us live longer, healthier, more successful, and more fulfilled lives. This investment cannot be taken from a person, and its benefits extend to generations. At the end of the day, what do we care most about, even more than ourselves? Our children. Investing in their education (in them) is one of the best things we can do to help them in life. We would love to join you in helping to empower them to succeed in life. As always, it is our pleasure to help and serve.
