President Obama Inspires Students

By Shevonne Francis

President Barack Obama has always valued the importance of education. He understands that it is the key to success in improving the lives of Americans today as well as in keeping the United States competitive in the world tomorrow. That was the message that the President delivered when he addressed students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA, on September 8, 2009.

Hope. Hope drives us to make a better life.

Hope impels us to make a better world for our children. Hope is the key. With hope, we succeed. Without hope, we fail.

We have failed. We have failed our communities. We have failed as citizens. We have failed our children.
