1、奥巴马的演讲词篇一：奥巴马演讲稿 全So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But Im here today because I have something important to discuss with you. Im here because I want to talk with you about your education and whats expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, Ive given a l
2、ot of speeches about education. And Ive talked about responsibility a lot.Ive talked about teachers responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.Ive talked about your parents responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and dont spend every waki
3、ng hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.Ive talked a lot about your governments responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that arent working, where students arent getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the
4、 day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world - and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you payattention to those teachers, u
5、nless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes tosucceed. Thats what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has somethi
6、ng that youre good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. Thats the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer - maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper - but you mi
7、ght not know it until you write that English paper - that English class paper thats assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor - maybe even good enough to come up with the next IPhone or the new medicine or vaccine - but you might not know it until you do your project for your s
8、cience class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice - but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that youll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teach
9、er, or a police officer You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military Youre going to need a good education forevery single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. Youve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And
10、this isnt just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What youre learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges i
11、n the future.Youll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. Youll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fig
12、ht poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. Youll need the creativity andingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents an
13、d your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our mostdifficult problems. If you dont do that - if you quit on school - youre not just quitting on yourself, youre quitting on your country.Now, I know its not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges
14、in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it. I know what its like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasnt always able to give us the things that o
15、ther kids had. There were times when I missed having afather in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didnt fit in.So I wasnt always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things Im not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life co
16、uld have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was - I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didnt have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some
