The presidents speach

A lot of president Obama's speech was directed at the youth in America. He stressed about the importance of education starting in our homes from the time we are born, and continuing to at least 1 year of higher education. He said that college would be provided for 7 million more Americans and it would become more affordable. He said, "...dropping out of high school is no longer an option... its not just quiting on yourself, its quiting on your country". He makes a good point here because America needs every one of its talents. To not perform to the best of your abilities would be a waste. If every American could receive a good education and go to college, then he could be more knowledgeable and successful. Parents play a huge role in the upbringing of thier children; our future.
