Obama's Address to the Students

Great speech! I thought he did an excellent job speaking directly to students and explaining the need for everyone to succeed. Our students today are our future. As teachers, administrators and parents, we need to ensure that our students are receiving the best education possible. One thing that Obama said that I completely agree with is "You can't let your failures define you, you have to let your failures teach you." With this in mind, it is important to stress to our students that failing does not mean you are not smart, it just means that you need to keep trying and to try harder. I believe that we, as a nation, are on the right path, but it is going to take everyone working together to succeed.
