Depending on where you are in the world, C-SPAN will be airing the President of The United States‘ first speech aired to school age children.
As noticed, debates have stirred up about the President’s content and delivery, but the show will go on. We hope you have an opportunity to watch it as parents, people of the community and family members. Stay involved and engaged. Education is key.

You can also read President Obama‘s Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama Back to School Event at TheWhiteHouse.Gov.
Some quotes that stuck with me from this speech:
“No matter what you decide to do with your life, I guarantee you’ll need an education to do it”
“There are no excuses for not trying.”
“Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you end up.”
“Set your own goals for your education, and do everything you can to meet them.Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.”
“No one is born being good at all things. You become good at things by hard work.”
“When you feel other people have given up on you, don’t EVER give up on yourself.”

Nice boss lady. And what kills me is there are people that don’t want their children to listen to this.
It wasnt the speeech it was the COLOR of the person making the speech I dont remember my dad saying Im not letting you listen to Bush when he made the Say No to Drugs speech becuse even tho he didnt like the man he was still saying positive things gearewd towards children or me at the time but its officail even in the 21st century people will still hate because of your color and beliefs lol
