President Obama made a speech for every student in the United States. His thesis was to tell children to stay in school, work hard and by doing so you will have a good job. I think that is important that the president is making a speech to the kids of America because some children are not motivated to go to school, but if the president says something people realize how important it really is. Another purpose for the speech is to tell kids that other people are suffering and if you are going through tough times it is good to know that you’re not alone. If the president says it after all he’s been through it will make some kids feel better. It is important that every child in America has a good education and this speech addresses that.
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 important words in this speech responsibility, focusing, and talents. In the speech Obama talks about responsibility a lot. I think that it is the most important word in the speech. Responsibility is important key to success, you have to be accountable for your actions if you do something wrong. You have to be responsible and do your homework. Focusing is also another important word in the speech. You need to focus on your work while in school and not fool around. Obama says that when he was in school he didn’t always focus and his life could have been turned in the wrong direction if he wasn’t focused and motivated. The last word is talents. Obama believes that everyone has their own talents and purpose to the world.
There are many challenges in my generation: global warming, too much technology and the recession. Global warming is affecting everyone. In order to live on this planet we need to take care of it and if we don’t the planet will die and so will we. Some people litter and don’t care but it is definitely becoming a big issue. Too much technology is also a bad thing especially for young people. Many kids spend too much time watching television or going on the computer for too long. This is bad because while watching television you’re not exercising your sitting there. This is one of the leading causes in obesity. Also playing on the computer causes you to forget to do your homework this isn’t good either. Sometimes I do this myself and realize I have spent 4 hours on a computer. The last thing is the recession. Many children’s parents are losing jobs and it is upsetting for kids.
