A school is an institution. It is a system designed to conform individuals to be in tune to society. A place that a person can discover they are good at. School allows for talents and skills to be uncovered. Which provides a person with insight to your future and the role they fit into in society. It acts as an escape ladder to success, or a coping technique for other challenges. Either way it is a battlefield, one that is not easily avoided, or beat.
The main purpose of the speech was to motivate students to do their very best in school. Obama is all about his phrases like “YES, we can” or “no child left behind” or the one on the sign that was hanging in back of him, “ My education, My future.” I do agree with most of what he was saying, but not all. He spoke to students all across America. It was inspiring. While he gave his speech No one dared to speak. The ocean of students seems to be captivated by his presence.
In this speech Obama tries really hard to relate to students all across America. He brought the ideas down to our level and gave us something to relate too. Obama verbalized the feeling most everyone gets on the first days of school. He talked about the joy that comes with being a senior. It makes everything a little more personal when he brings up his past experiences. In my mind he is saying that we all have the tools we need in order to be as successful as he is. By taking education seriously we will be lead to success. “You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it” Being success is hard. but if you work and work and work hard enough anyone can be successful. Schools provide the right materials in order for every kid to be successful. I agree that everyone has responsibly that they are held accountable for. An education does rely on the student. You can not make someone want to learn. "But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life…That’s no excuse for not trying." Everyone person in America has the opportunity to an education and it is their responsibly to take hold of it.
“The future of America depends on us” that’s a whole great big deal to deal with. Lets not screw this up. The faith of America is now a burden on our shoulders.
