Hw- 44 Expectations

Unlike the movies that dealt with the savages (teens) of High School (Blackboard Jungle, Dangerous Minds and Freedom Writers), they handled the students by explaining to them why education is key and never really explaining why it was so important to them. In Obama's speech he did the exact opposite by sharing his struggle for a good education in his youthful days. By doing that, he made it worth knowing that we are young adults who may have it easy to get a good education and a tribute to those who don't, all the while to make us feel appreciative that we have an education.

None the less, even though we should feel appreciative to have an education, it is our own responsibility to make sure we are selves learn something. During Obama's speech, he targets all the students by making them feel good to know that we have the ability to become someone important, such as the person who will cure cancer and aids and even becoming the most significant person in the United States, The President! "But it is all up to YOU, and how you YOU will handle your responsibilities. "

It was interesting to read the Liberal Artcs article, because most of the questions it answered relates to me for example; "How will studying Shakespeare or cell biology or modern art help me get a job?" And then being told how to see the corralations between math and business companies, the type of homework we get to improve our problem solving skills and the analysis of a certain subject. All of this is great, but it gets boring. From my own experience, it feels like "Deja Vu." We learn most of the same thing over and over again only to be explained to us that we are deepning our understanding of the topic. But it's not, it's actually unmotivating me because it something I know too well.
