This is what PJ, my 7 yr old daughter and 2nd grader got from President Obama’s School Speech. We watched the speech via YouTube last night after dinner and just before bed. I’m not sure if PJ’s school or class will watch, but we felt it was important to have her view it, discuss it and to see her personal reaction. She was a bit tired, a little haggard looking from soccer practice and a little nervous, but I think she did a great job in expressing her own opinions and thoughts. Thanks, PJ! I love you and am proud of you. Mom!
If you or your child has not seen the speech or if you or your child attend a class or school that has decided not to aire the program, please click on the link above and take a few moments to view and discuss with your child or children. The speech was inspiring and direct. Perfect for kids of all ages. Thank you President Obama. Thank you for speaking to our kids about core things like personal responsibility, the value of education and the simple fact that no matter the difficulties in life, we all can still succeed with a little hard work and goal setting. So simple, yet so powerful.
