Kids Get that Education!!!
What a speech! When I heard about this speech that was going to be given today over the Labor Day holiday I was elated and quite excited. I was really proud that our President was taking time out of his schedule to honor International Literacy Day,Tuesday, September 8th 2009 today with a speech given across the internet to all schools that elected to live stream the speech.
The organization UNESCO’s has literacy programs aim to create a literate world and promote literacy for all. They have been providing programs for world literacy since 1946. Read the UN’s Secretary General’s article about this special day HERE.
I among many bloggers, have decided to participate in this world endeavor by blogging and passing the word forward to the world and hope the you my reader will do the same in some sort of way yourself.
Today at 12:00 Noon EST President Obama at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virgina gave a pep talk to students about their education. This was monumental for me and follows suit to what our President wants for our country to be number one in the world in education.
It was a great speech his ability to be plain and speak to students was not only a boost for the betterment of our country. I viewed this not only as a speech for students grades K-12 but for students across all borders nationally, internationally, and for higher education.
I’m not going to address those schools that decided not to air this but I am here to tell you that students and parents if they choose will listen to this video via the net outside of school. The message will be heard!
Listen to the video and if you are a parent, guardian or know of a student that can benefit from this speech give them the opportunity to listen to it. It really will make a difference even if just one student gets the message they in their own way will pass if forward to fellow friends and classmates. I urge you to feel free and spread the word, pass is forward for the betterment of our country.
Kids Get that Education, Knowledge is power and powerful!!!
Push on and hard and let nothing stop you, nothing! There are no failures in reaching your goals only goals that have not been met yet!
“Evolve”
