Reading Obama's speach was actually touching in a way. The way he speaks sounds so convincing and you get this feeling like everything that he says is either a) right or b) wrong (but sounds right). Everything he says, and the best part is that he tries to relate it all to the young people. He knows which way to set up his words, he stresses to us how important school is and then relates to us and acknowledges that us, as teens go through many things ourselves. Our lives aren't always the easiest, but we have to prosper through all of that, because there's other kids who got the same problems, maybe even worse, and they make the best out of their situation.
He keeps everything as honest with us as he can. Speaking on how we can't rely on being a basketball player. He keeps everything as honest and believable as he can. He gives us some type of hope. Or an emotional boost of some sort, maybe we CAN make a cure for AIDS or Cancer. My favorite part of his speech was when he gave us some "did you know" facts. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." " This literally made me go on my facebook and put in the Michael Jordan quote, and that same day I bragged, acting like I knew random facts and threw in the one about JK Rowling
