Obama's speech

So honestly, I didn't pay all that much attention to Obama's speech, i had anatomy homework i hadn't done. But the bits and pieces i did watch really grabbed my attention, so much that i was kind of mad at myself for not being able to pay attention to my work. I thought the way he was relating his childhood to the struggles of many children in today's world was insightful. i also think that by explaining how hard he had it as a child it was supposed to make you think, "Hmmm, my problems aren't nearly this bad and still i complain almost every day." At least that is what i was thinking, i was wondering why i hadn't done this anatomy homework at home. Crazy concept right, doing your homework at home, I've never been that good at it. When you think about it, it doesn't make all that much dedication. Obama on the other hand had to wake up ridiculously early to get a DECENT education. i have to wake up at five sometimes to get a great education, and i take that for granted. I feel that Obama's speech was so interesting because he tried to make you think, he tried to make you contradict your developed way of life. he wanted to change the way you THINK about school.
