Education is like a growing plant

Education is like a plant. When you first plant a plant it is helpless and needs to be taken care of. It needs water and sunlight. I feel that education is similar because when a child first starts getting an education they are helpless and they rely on their teachers and parents to tell them what they need to do and when. And they rely on their teachers and parents to teach them what they need to know in their first years of life. The same goes for a plant. When it is just a sprout it doesn't know anything and it can't take care of itself and get through bad weather or anything like that and it needs to be protected. As a child grows up they begin to learn and grow on their own, and by the time that they get to high school they are able to take care of themselves and they are able to know what they need to learn and they don't rely so much on their teachers and parents and they are given more responsibility. As a seed grows into a sprout and into a seedling and eventually into a plant it doesn't need as much protection and it is able to get it's own food from the sun and it will be protected against the different types of weather. I feel that these two are close to the same because they have almost the same growing process. And they both need people at first to get them on the right foot.
