A very refreshing non-political moment for the President and his wife this weekend. Michelle was at Bowie State University. She really challenged the students to study and excel in life.
Obama was at Morehouse college and gave a very rare and personal speech. NPR printed excerpts and it’s worth a read. A very powerful wake up call on personal responsibility and hard work.
I have a close friend that teaches at a high school. Motivating kids these days is hard. Theres a mentality that being smart and doing well in school is for dorks. Kids making good grades often get singled out and bullied. All the role models these days are so negative.
Glad to see Obama and Michelle speaking openly about taking personal responsibility for an education and excelling in life.
