Criterion Essay- Military Service

When it comes to military service, lots of students might view it as a waste of time. However, I doubt about it. In my opinion, military service not only helps students to gain working experience but also enrich their characteristic which is considered very important when they go to work or purchase a higher degree.
Military service plays an important role to mature, build and shape a sound personality. I am in favor of the point that students should go directly to their country's military instead of the workforce or college after their high school graduation. Take Taiwanese students as an example, students in Taiwan were asked to serve the army after their graduation in university. However, many high school students in Taiwan do not really know what they want to learn in university but just go with the stream instead of thinking thoroughly about their future career or development.
Giving students a year in military to carefully think about their future and interests is essential and reasonable. I support the position that a country like Germany, give their students a year in military before starting their college life. It is considered more effective compared to the Taiwan army system.
Deliberating carefully before making big decisions, students will fully appreciate and understand why they are heading the path and where they are heading to.
