An extract from
President Obama’s
Speech to School
students
Every single one of you has something you're good at.
Every single one of you has something to offer.
You have a responsibility to yourself to discover what it is.
I want to talk about your education and what's expected of you.
I can talk a lot about responsibility.
Your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you
to learn. Your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay
on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every
waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated
Teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools
in the world and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfil your
responsibilities. Unless you show up to school; pay attention to
those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other
adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.
Maybe you could be a good writer
maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a
newspaper - but you might not know it until you write a paper
for your English class.
Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor
maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone
or a new medicine or vaccine - but you might not know it until you
do a project for your science class.
And no matter what you want to do with your life
I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.
You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer?
You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer?
You're going to need a good education for every single careers.
You can't drop into a good job.
You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.
But the truth is, being successful is hard.
You won't love every subject you study.
You won't click with every teacher.
Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant
And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time
That's OK.
Some of the most successful people in the world
are the ones who've had the most failures.
Albert Einstein did not
speak until he was four
and did not read until he
was seven, causing his
teachers and parents to
think he was slow and
anti-social.
Walt Disney was fired by a
newspaper editor
because, "he lacked
imagination and had no
good ideas.“ Disney
eventually became a
multi-millionaire
Her first Harry Potter
book was rejected
twelve times before it
was finally published.
JK Rowling's
So today, I want to tell you
Every single one of you has something
you're good at.
Every single one of you has something
to offer.
And you have a responsibility to
yourself to discover what that is.
