I have a daughter who is going to hear this speech tomorrow. She also knows kids who don't have parental support in their education, because we are mentors for these kids. I think she'll get it. Maybe I should have her talk to some of the parents.

<b>That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.

<b>That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.<br />
<br />
Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.</b><br />

Well, don't give up. It all has to come out sometime. In the meantime, how about watching the movie <b>The Game</b> with Michael Douglas. When it's over, be very grateful no one has ever asked you to play.<br />

Let me repeat that: <b>be very grateful no one has ever asked you to play.</b><br />

It's real enough, and somewhat addicting. What is strange is that it does kill people, and yet no one is talking, not really, not in any concrete kind of way that would lead to accountability of any kind. When it…

It's real enough, and somewhat addicting. What is strange is that it does kill people, and yet no one is talking, not really, not in any concrete kind of way that would lead to accountability of any kind. When it is spoken of it is usually by means of allegory. That just tends to confuse people, especially when the symbolic references aren't universally understood.
