Obama's Speech

President Obama's speech to the children of America was a powerful informative speech that encouraged students to take responsibility for their own education. I believe that it was a monumental moment in history because he told students about his problems growing up. He told them that he grew up in a single family and had to over come hard times. He told them how he had difficulties in life but never gave up. Presiend Obama told the students that no matter the circumstances in your life, that is no excuse to not do your homework or a have bad attitude. He inspired students because he told us that we can need to stay in school , become involved in school activities that will allow us to find which carer field would be best for us. He told us how each subject learned in school helps us to become productive adults. The president's speech was very powerful because he said, "Here in America, you write your own future. I believe it changed American students view on education because he gave us examples of people that used their failures to improve their lives through hard work and determination. Some of his examples were JK Rowlings whos first book was rejected tweleve times but her second book was accepted and Michael Jordan who was cut from his highschool basked ball team but later became the best player of all time. I believed that this was a great speech. Thank you President Obama.
