I liked President Obama's speech because it showed how getting a good education is one of the most important things you can do. It also shows that if you don't get good grades you can't particapate in more enjoyable subjects.

My favorite part was when he said "its not all about the team who won the super bowl also the one who won the science fair". The speech made me feel so proud of my education and the community I live in. It was a great speech over all.

I think that all Americans need to work togther to improve our country. We can do that by working harder in school and pitching in on every part we can. America is a good nation but we can make it much better.

President Obama said you don't have to attend a great school to get your deploma.You have to work hard to get your deploma.If you don't work hard in high school you won't get your deploma.If you don't get your deploma it effects your job.

I liked the State of the Union speech because President Obama said if we were responsible during our childhood we would have an amazing adulthood and have good jobs. I am proud because our school isn’t the worst in the worst in the state. I liked it because it gave me inspiration to be a better person.

I think we are being responsible and doing what we should and that our school is not the worst school in Colorado. I liked the part when he would compare one thing to another like school to the Super Bowl. This makes me feel good because he said nice things about us and he said thing we have to work on. That is what I like!

My favorite part of the speech by Mr. Obama was the part where he was talking about ‘how it’s not important who won the super bowl it’s about who won the science fair’’. The speech was great. It made me feel proud how he talked about the school in Colorado. It also said that getting a education is important.

Mr. Obama’s education speech was very respectable to me because he said a states school that shoots up in expectations will get money for the states school districts. That amazed me because I never knew are country had that much money.
