Education

Improvement in ones social status allows a person to elevate the status of those close to him/her.

An executive in either government or private institutions or organizations who got his elementary schooling from a far flung village where he/she grew up, his high school from a municipal school and college from among the schools located in his/her home province will tend to enroll their children to exclusive schools for their elementary and high school education and bring them to the national capital for college schooling in one of the prestigious universities.

It is their right to do so.

It may be because he/she did not find the education he/she got from his/her schools to be adequate. It is every parent's dream to give their children the best education there is.

But when it comes to looking back, only a few of them do try to reach out to their former schools to help make it better. Some will just tend to put down their alma mater while still some will not take notice nor take action on anything.

Is it human nature to keep on improving yourself and leave everyone else behind? Is it because of the so-called crab mentality of people that they will just pull themselves up and leave the rest to fall? When will it become our task to help others up? When will we make it our principle to be the one to take someone to a higher plane, even higher than ours?

Unlike the crabs in the final installment of Pirates of the Caribbean who, even though they walk over each other to bring the Black Pearl to sea, put others ahead so they can all move forward, we tend to move forward on our own leaving the others behind.
