On Tuesday, September 8th, our class listened to President Obama's back to school speech to students. Aflterwards the class made a list of the most important ideas from the president's speech.

1. Stay in school.
2. Set goals and follow through.
3. Work hard, don't stop, keep at it.
4. Get a good education.
5. Learn from your mistakes.
6. Persevere.
7. Follow your dreams!
8. Make good choices.

Afterwards I asked the class these questions:

1. What do you want to be when you grow up?
2. What will you need to do to achieve that goal?
3. Everyone is good at some things and has some things that are hard for them. What area do you need to improve on here at school. Set at least one goal for yourself.
