Obama's Speech

On Tuesday, September 9, President Barak Obama gave a speeh to students all across America. In this speech, his goal was basically trying to get students motivated and pumped up about school. He was trying to convince students to stay in school, study hard, concentrate on homework etc. His point of view was that education was the key to success not the false hopes of becoming rappers, actors, and things of that nature. I do think his goal was reached in a way because, his tone in the speech was so relaxed making it easy for students to relate which pumped them up even more about school. I personally do not think it was a montumental moment. This is because all my life I've heard the same cliche speech about how important education was and to stay in school. I don't think just because president Obama said it, it affected me more. I really didn't get much out of the speech simply because I've been hearing speeches similar in nature all my life from other people. His speech did not change my view on education because all of the things he said about education, I was already aware of.
