Which do you consider to be the major influence? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words

Some people are of the view that only university education can ensure success, whereas many others oppose this view. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Recently, there was an argument about whether the role of higher education is monumental for someone's success. While proponents believe that the debate is true, opponents opine the other way around. From my perspective, I strongly lean towards the advantages of a higher educational background since its contribution has been fundamental in our lives.

Some schools are very strict about their school uniforms and the appearance of their pupils, while other schools have a very relaxed dress code. What are the advantages and disadvantages of children of having a school uniform?
Particular educational institutions tediously check if the looks and dress code are followed by their students; on the other hand, pupils of other schools have the freedom in these terms. This essay will explain how the absense of excessive expenses and thinking and the presence of formal atmosphere are the primary merits, whereas suppressed individualism and the lack of comfort are the pivotal demerits.
