Obama's Speech

The stated goal in President Obama's speech was to get the youth of today to take education more seriously and to never give up on what they want to do in life. I believe that for the goal to be reached it also take cooperation from the parent at home, the teachers a school supporting and keeping the words that Obama said freash on the kids minds, but most of all it has to come from within the student that sits in the classroom. For a President, the first African American President at that to come on and address you and show you how concerned and encouraging he is gives you momentum and makes you want to go ou there and do your best becase you think if he can make it then so can I. When I sat in my class and I watched and listened to the word that Obama was saying, it reassured me that no matter what I've been through that I can still succeed. His encouraging words just mad eme wanna work harder to reach my goal. I believe that it put kids in reality that most people don't have the blessings of becoming a pro basketball plaer or a rapper, but with an education you have a solid backup plan and can become anything that you want.
