President Obama Speaks to Us

Today we viewed President Obama's address to us. We couldn't watch it yesterday because we were in gym. President Obama spoke to us about challenges we face in gaining an education. He also discussed the importance of giving our BEST every day and setting educational goals. Our brains were really working overtime when he encouraged us to imagine the possible contributions our generation will make to our nation and world.

Following the speech, we wrote letters to the President regarding these issues. We'll post pieces of the letters when they are complete so check back soon. If you missed the speech or would like to watch it again go here: C-Span

I encourage parents and role models of students to sit down and discuss their challenges, educational goals and dreams. What did you think of President Obama's speech? How are you going to do your part to make our country and world the best it can be?
