1
When I was young, my family lived overseas.
2
I lived in Indonesia for a few years.
3
And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school.
4
But she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.
5
So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.
6
But because she had to go to work,
7
the only time she could do it was at 4.30 in the morning.
8
Now, as you might imagine,
9
I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.
10
And a lot of times I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.
11
But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say,
12
this is no picnic for me either, Buster.
13
So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school,
14
but I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.
15
I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education
16
and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.
17
Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education,
18
and I've talked about responsibility a lot.
19
I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.
20
I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track
21
and you to get your homework done and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.
22
I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards
23
and supporting teachers and principals and turning around schools that aren't working,
24
where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.
25
But at the end of the day,
26
we can have the most dedicated teachers,
27
the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world,
28
and none of it will make a difference.
29
None of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities.
30
Unless you show up to those schools,
31
unless you pay attention to those teachers,
32
unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.
33
And that's what I want to focus on today.
34
The responsibility each of you has for your education.
35
I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
36
Every single one of you has something that you're good at.
37
Every single one of you has something to offer.
38
And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.
39
That's the opportunity an education can provide.
40
Maybe you could be a great writer.
41
even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper,
42
but you might not know it until you write that English paper,
43
that English class paper that's assigned to you.
44
Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor,
45
maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine,
46
but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.
47
Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice.
48
But you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.
49
And no matter what you want to do with your life,
50
I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.
51
You want to be a doctor or a teacher or a police officer.
52
You want to be a nurse or an architect,
53
a lawyer or a member of our military.
54
We're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.
55
You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.
56
You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.
57
And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.
58
What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.
59
The future of America depends on you.
60
What you're learning in school today will determine whether we,
61
as a nation, nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
62
You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and apes,
63
and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.
64
You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness,
65
crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.
66
You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies.
67
They'll create new jobs and boost our economy.
68
We need every single one of you to develop your talents
69
and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.
70
If you don't do that,
71
if you quit on school,
72
you're not just quitting on yourself,
73
you're quitting on your country.
74
I know it's not always easy to do well in school.
75
I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now
76
that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.
77
I get it.
78
I know what it's like.
79
My father left my family when I was two years old,
80
and I was raised by a single mom who had to work
81
and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.
82
There were times when I missed having a father in my life.
83
There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.
84
So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school.
85
And I did some things that I'm not proud of.
86
And I got in more trouble than I should have.
87
And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.
88
But I was lucky.
89
I got a lot of second chances.
90
And I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams.
91
And my wife, our first lady,
92
Michelle Obama, she has a similar story.
93
Neither of her parents had gone to college,
94
and they didn't have a lot of money.
95
But they worked hard, and she worked hard,
96
so that she could go to the best schools in this country.
97
But some of you might not have those advantages.
98
Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.
99
Maybe someone in your family has lost their job,
100
and there's not enough money to go around.
101
Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe,
102
or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.
103
But at the end of the day,
104
the circumstances of your life,
105
what you look like, where you come from,
106
how much money you have,
107
what you've got going on at home,
108
none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.
109
That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher or cutting class or dropping out of
110
There is no excuse for not trying.
111
Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.
112
No one's written your destiny for you.
113
Because here in America, you write your own destiny.
114
You make your own future.
115
That's what young people like you are doing every day all across America.
116
Young people like Jasmine Perez from Roma, Texas.
117
Jasmine didn't speak English when she first started school.
118
Neither of her parents had gone to college.
119
But she worked hard, earned good grades,
120
and got a scholarship to Brown University as now in graduate school studying public health,
121
on her way to becoming Dr. Jasmine Perez.
122
I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz from Los Altos,
123
California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.
124
He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries,
125
one of which affected his memory,
126
so it took him much longer,
127
hundreds of extra hours, to do his schoolwork.
128
But he never fell behind.
129
He's headed to college this fall.
130
And then there's Chantel Steve from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
131
Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city,
132
she managed to get a job at a local health care center,
133
started a program to keep young people out of gangs,
134
and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.
135
And Jasmine and Donnie and Chantel aren't any different from any of you.
136
They face challenges in their lives just like you do.
137
In some cases, they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.
138
But they refuse to give up.
139
They chose to take responsibility for their lives,
140
for their education, and set goals for themselves.
141
And I expect all of you to do the same.
142
And that's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education.
143
And do everything you can to meet them.
144
Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework,
145
paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.
146
Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity or volunteer in your community.
147
Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased
148
or bullied because of who they are or how they look.
149
Because you believe, like I do,
150
that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.
151
Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.
152
But whatever you resolve to do,
153
I want you to commit to it.
154
I want you to really work at it.
155
I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work.
156
That your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.
157
Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.
158
The truth is, being successful is hard.
159
You won't love every subject that you study.
160
You won't click with every teacher that you have.
161
Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.
162
And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.
163
That's okay.
164
Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.
165
J.K.
166
Rawlings, who wrote Harry Potter,
167
her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.
168
Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.
169
He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.
170
But he once said, I have failed over and over and over again in my life,
171
and that's why I succeed.
172
These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you.
173
You have to let your failures teach you.
174
You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.
175
So if you get into trouble,
176
that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker.
177
It means you need to try harder to act right.
178
If you get a bad grade,
179
that doesn't mean you're stupid.
180
It just means you need to spend more time studying.
181
No one's born being good at all things.
182
You become good at things through hard work.
183
You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.
184
You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.
185
You've got to practice.
186
The same principle applies to your schoolwork.
187
You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.
188
You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.
189
You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.
190
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
191
Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
192
I do that every day.
193
Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness,
194
it's a sign of strength.
195
Because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something,
196
and that then allows you to learn something new.
197
So find an adult that you trust.
198
a parent, a grandparent, or a teacher,
199
a coach or a counselor,
200
and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.
201
And even when you're struggling,
202
even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you,
203
don't ever give up on yourself.
204
Because when you give up on yourself,
205
you give up on your country.
206
The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.
207
It's about people who kept going,
208
who who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.
209
It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago
210
and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.
211
Young people.
212
Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago,
213
who overcame a depression and won a world war,
214
who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.
215
who sat where you sit 20 years ago,
216
who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook,
217
and changed the way we communicate with each other.
218
So today, I want to ask all of you,
219
what's your contribution going to be?
220
What problems are you going to solve?
221
What discoveries will you make?
222
What will a president who comes here in 20 or 50
223
or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country.
224
Your families, your teachers
225
and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.
226
I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books
227
and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.
228
But you've got to do your part, too.
229
So I expect all of you to get serious this year.
230
I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.
231
I expect great things from each of you.
232
So don't let us down.
233
Don't let your family down or your country down.
234
Most of all, don't let yourself down.
235
Make us all proud.
236
Thank you very much, everybody.
237
God bless you.
238
God bless America.
239
Thank you.
240

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
