"We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country. "
- President Obama
President Obama talked about how important school is and that each and every one of us needs to do our best to work hard and never give up! He also told us to set goals for ourselves whether it be getting homework done every night or reading an extra book before going to bed. It may even be to make friends with someone who is playing alone on the playground.
Obama was really funny when he was talking about people who want to be rappers. This made some of our friends laugh! He was telling us that no matter what we want to be, it will take hard work and determination to get us there. There is no excuse no matter what circumstances you have in your life for not trying or having a bad attitude. So this year we are going to work hard and make our parents and teachers proud!
"So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country? " - President Obama
"Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future." -President Obama
