Education opens our minds to so much.
Through school and other outside activities or experiences we learn about and appreciate more than without any education at all. Education shows us all of our opportunities and hopefully sparks interests in our minds. We have ideas for our future, and an incentive to work hard to get there. Working hard will, in time, pay off and produce success, pride, and money. With these, there is no need to steal, and a proud person who respects himself would be less likely to commit crime.
