NOtes on article with obama

-"put in the hard work it takes to succeed"

-Education will help you discover what your good at

-"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. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team."

-"You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it."

-education is your first step to achieve anything.

-If you discover what your good at, why must students continue with a subject they may never need to use? if they continue to fail the class, that will reflect negative grades, which is not fair.

-"you’re quitting on your country. " One for all, all for one

-"But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life – what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home – that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That’s no excuse for not trying." Is there ever an excuse??
