Obama gave the Back to School speech at Philadelphia’s Julia R. Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School, a college-prep public school that ranks among the very best.
I love that the president addresses the nation’s schoolchildren – this year, Obama talked about the importance of education, telling students to work hard in school to go far in life.
“Nobody gets to write your destiny but you. Your future is in your hands. Your life is what you make of it. And nothing — absolutely nothing — is beyond your reach, so long as you’re willing to dream big, so long as you’re willing to work hard. So long as you’re willing to stay focused on your education, there is not a single thing that any of you cannot accomplish, not a single thing. I believe that.”
