President Obama's Speech

Personally, I think that this was a very influencing speech to children and young adults all around America. President Obama was basically just telling everyone that they can be some one; regardless to where you came from, it does not determine where you will go in life. No matter how many burdens that try to stop you or how hard you think your life is, it can always be worse. It is also true that someone else has a life far more worse than yours. It makes no sence for you to be getting a free education and then choose not to use it. He was also explaining that he also had a hard life and he still made something of himself. His father left him and his mother when he was only two. He was raised by a single mother. President Barack Obama took advantage of his education and this opened up many doors for him.
