——美国总统奥巴马在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中开学典礼的励志演讲稿
I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.
I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.
And no matter what you want to do with your life，I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor，or a teacher，or a police officer? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.
And this isn't 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.What you're learning in school today will etermine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us
