Good afternoon everyone.

Today I'd like to welcome to the J .R.

Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School, President Barack Obama.

It is a great honor for me to be here today, speaking for the students of my school, my city, and my country.

When I first learned that I would be the one to introduce

Barack Obama to our school, I thought to myself, wow, I'm so lucky to have this privilege.

What a great year to be student body president.

However, the truth is, I'm not here by luck.

I'm here because I had determination, because I had aspirations, because I had unwavering support from my family,

my friends, and my school.

They have all helped me to grow and develop into who I am now.

This school, this community has taught me to work, share, learn, and laugh with others.

The teachers and staff have given me and all of the students here the opportunity to progress academically, emotionally, and independently.

It is this sense of community, this sense of belonging

that is bestowed upon all the students who have passed their years at Masterman

that has bred me for success and I will settle for nothing short of it.

I encourage every student to take on the same mentality.

And now, it is my great pleasure to introduce to you someone who has achieved the success

that we all hope for and gone beyond to change the very nation in which we live.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the President of the United States, Mr. Barack Obama.

Thank you.

Hello.

Thank you.

Well, hello, Philadelphia. And hello, Mastermind.

It is wonderful to see all of you.

What a terrific introduction by Kelly.

Give Kelly a big round of applause.

I was saying backstage that when I was in high school, I could not have done that.

I would have muffed it up somehow.

So we are so proud of you and everything that you've done.

And to all the students here, I am thrilled to be here.

We've got a couple of introductions I want to make.

First of all, you've got the outstanding governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, in the house.

The President of the United States is here.

The Mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter, is here.

Congressman Shaka Fattah is here.

Congresswoman Allison Schwartz is here.

Your own principal, Marge Neff, is here.

The school superintendent, Arlene Ackerman, is here and doing a great job.

And the secretary of education, Arne Duncan, is here. And I am here.

And I am thrilled to be here.

I am just so excited.

I have heard such great things about what all of you are doing, both the students and the teachers and the staff here.

Today is about welcoming all of you and all of America's students back to school,

even though I know you've been in school for a little bit now.

And I can't think of a better place to do it than at Masterman.

Because you are one of the best schools in Philadelphia.

You are a leader in helping students succeed in the classroom.

Just last week, you were recognized by a national blue ribbon, as a national blue ribbon school because of your record of achievement.

And that is a testament to everybody here, to the students, to the parents.

to the teachers, to the school leaders.

It's an example of excellence that I hope communities across America can embrace.

Over the past few weeks, Michelle and I have been getting Sasha and Malia ready for school.

And they're excited about it.

I'll bet they have the same feelings that you do.

You're a little sad to see the summer go.

but you're also excited about the possibilities of a new year, the possibilities of building new friendships and strengthening old ones,

of joining a school club or trying out for a team, the possibilities of growing into a better student and a better person,

and making not just your family proud, but making yourself proud.

But I know some of you may also be a little nervous about starting a new school year.

Maybe you're making the jump from elementary to middle school, or from middle school to high school,

and you're worried about what that's going to be like.

Maybe you're starting a new school, you're not sure how you'll like it, trying to figure out how you're going to fit in.

Or maybe you're a senior and you're anxious about the whole college process,

about where to apply and whether you can afford to go to college.

And beyond all those concerns, I know a lot of you are also feeling the strain of some difficult times.

You know what's going on in the news, and you also know what's going on in some of your own families.

You've read about the war in Afghanistan.

You hear about the recession that we've been through.

And sometimes maybe you're seeing the worries in your parents' faces or sense it in their voice.

So a lot of you, as a consequence, because we're going through a tough time as a country,

are having to act a lot older than you are.

You've got to be strong for your family while your brother or sister is serving overseas,

or you've got to look after younger siblings while your mom is working that second shift,

or maybe some of you who are a little bit older, you're taking on a part -time job while your dad is out of work.

And that's a lot to handle.

It's more than you should have to handle.

And it may make you wonder at times what your own future will look like, whether you're going to be able to succeed in school,

whether you should maybe set your sights a little lower, scale back your dreams.

But I came to Masterman to tell all of you what I think you're hearing from your principal

and your superintendent and from your parents and from your teachers leaders, nobody gets to write your destiny but you.

Your future is in your hands.

Your life is what you make of it.

And nothing, absolutely nothing, is beyond your reach.

So long as you're willing to dream big, so long as you're willing to work hard,

so long as you're willing to stay focused on your education, there is not a single thing that that any of you cannot accomplish,

not a single thing.

I believe that.

And that last part is absolutely essential, that part about really working hard in school,

because an education has never been more important than it is today.

I'm sure there are going to be times in the months ahead

when you're staying up late doing your homework or cramming for a test,

or you're dragging yourself out of bed on a rainy morning and you're thinking, oh boy, I wish maybe it was a snow day.

But let me tell you, what you're doing is worth it.

There's nothing more important than what you're doing right now.

Nothing is going to have as great an impact on your success in life as your education, how you're doing in school.

More and more, the kinds of opportunities

that are open to you are going to be determined by how far you go in school.

100

The farther you go in school, the farther you're going to go in life.

101

And at a time when other countries are competing with us like never before, when students around the world,

102

in Beijing, China, or Bangalore, India, are working harder than ever and doing better than ever,

103

your success in school is It's not just going to determine your success, it's going to determine America's success in the 21st century.

104

So you've got an obligation to yourselves, and America has an obligation to you to make sure you're getting the best education possible.

105

And making sure you get

106

that kind of education is going to take all of us working hard and all of us working hand in hand.

107

It takes all of us in government, from the governor to the mayor to the superintendent to the president,

108

all of us doing our part to prepare our students, all of them, for success in the classroom and in college and in a career.

109

It's going to take an outstanding principal, like Principal Neck, and outstanding teachers like the ones you have here at Mastermind,

110

teachers who are going above and beyond the call of duty for their students.

111

and it's going to take parents who are committed to your education.

112

Now, that's what we have to do for you.

113

That's our responsibility.

114

That's our job.

115

But you've got a job, too.

116

You've got to show up to school on time.

117

You've got to pay attention in your class.

118

You've got to do your homework.

119

You've got to study for exams.

120

You've got to stay out of trouble.

121

You've got to instill a sense of excellence in everything that you do, that kind of discipline, that kind of drive,

122

that kind of hard work is absolutely essential for success.

123

And I can speak from experience here because, unlike Kelly, I can't say I always had this discipline.

124

See, I can tell she was always disciplined.

125

I wasn't always disciplined.

126

I wasn't always the best student when I was younger.

127

I made my share of mistakes.

128

I still remember a conversation I had with my mother in high school.

129

I was kind of a goof -off.

130

And I was about the age of some of the folks here.

131

And my grades were slipping.

132

I hadn't started my college applications.

133

I was acting, as my mother put it, sort of casual about my future.

134

I was doing good enough.

135

I was smart enough that I could kind of get by.

136

But I wasn't really applying myself.

137

And so I suspect this is a conversation that will sound familiar to some students and some parents here today.

138

She decided to sit me down and said I had to change my attitude.

139

My attitude was what I imagine every teenager's attitude is when your parents have a conversation with you like that.

140

I was like, you know, I don't need to hear all this.

141

I'm doing okay.

142

I'm not flunking out.

143

So I started to say that, and she just cut me right off.

144

She said, you can't just sit around waiting for luck to see you through.

145

She said, you can get into any school you want in the country

146

if you just put in a little bit of effort.

147

She gave me a hard look, and she said, you remember what that's like, effort?

148

Some of you have had that conversation.

149

And it was pretty jolting hearing my mother say that.

150

But eventually her words had the intended effect, because I got serious about my studies,

151

and I started to make an effort in everything that I did.

152

And I began to see my grades and my prospects improve.

153

And I know that if hard work could make the difference for me, than it can make a difference for all of you.

154

And I know that there may be some people who are skeptical about that.

155

Sometimes you may wonder if some people just aren't better at certain things.

156

Well, I'm not good at math, or I'm just not really interested in my science classes.

157

And it is true that we each have our own gifts, we each have our own talents that we have to discover and nurture.

158

not everybody is going to catch on in certain subjects as easily as others.

159

But just because you're not the best at something today doesn't mean you can't be tomorrow.

160

Even if you don't think of yourself as a math person or a science person,

161

you can still excel in those subjects if you're willing to make the effort.

162

And you may find out you have talents you never dreamed of.

163

Because one of the things I've discovered is excelling, whether it's in school or in life,

164

isn't mainly about being smarter than everybody else.

165

That's not really the secret to success.

166

It's about working harder than everybody else.

167

So don't avoid new challenges.

168

Seek them out.

169

Step out of your comfort zone.

170

Don't be afraid to ask for help.

171

Your teachers and your family are there to guide you.

172

They want to know if you're not catching on to something, because they know that if you keep on working at it,

173

you're going to catch on.

174

Don't feel discouraged.

175

Don't give up if you don't succeed at something the first time.

176

Try again and learn from your mistakes.

177

Don't feel threatened if your friends are doing well.

178

So be proud of them and see what lessons you can draw from what they're doing right.

179

I'm sort of preaching to the choir here

180

because I know that's the kind of culture of excellence that you promote at Masterman.

181

But I'm not just speaking to all of you.

182

I'm speaking to kids all across the country.

183

And I want them to all hear that same message.

184

That's the kind of excellence we've got to promote in all of America's schools.

185

That's one of the reasons why I'm announcing our second commencement challenge.

186

Some of you may have heard of this.

187

If your school is the winner, if you show us how teachers and students

188

and parents are all working together to prepare your kids and your school for college and a career,

189

if you show us how you're giving back to your community and your country, then I will congratulate you in person by speaking at your commencement.

190

Last year I was in Michigan, at Kalamazoo, and had just a wonderful time, although I've got to admit,

191

And their graduating class was about 700 kids, and my hands were really sore at the end of it, because I was shaking all of them.

192

But the truth is, an education is about more than getting into a good college.

193

It's about more than getting a good job when you graduate.

194

It's about giving each and every one of us the chance to fulfill our promise

195

and to be the best version of ourselves we can be.

196

And part of that means treating others the way we want to be treated, with kindness and respect.

197

So that's something else that I want to communicate to students, not just here at Masterman, but all across the country.

198

Sometimes kids can be mean to other kids.

199

Let's face it, we don't always treat each other with respect and kindness.

200

That's true for adults as well, by the way.

201

And sometimes that's especially true in middle school or high school, because being a teenager isn't easy.

202

It's a time when you're wrestling with a lot of things.

203

When I was in my teens, I was wrestling with all sorts of questions about who I was.

204

I had a white mother and a black father, and my father wasn't around.

205

He had left when I was two.

206

And so there were all kinds of issues that I was dealing with.

207

Some of you may be working through your own questions right now and coming to terms with what makes you different.

208

And I know that figuring out all of

209

that can be even more difficult when you've got bullies in a class who try to use

210

those differences to pick on you or poke fun at you to make you feel bad about yourself.

211

And in some places, the problem is even more serious.

212

There are neighborhoods in my hometown of Chicago and there

213

There are neighborhoods right here in Philadelphia where kids are doing each other serious harm.

214

So what I want to say to every kid, every young person, what I want all of you,

215

if you take away one thing from my speech, I want you to take away the notion that life is precious

216

and part of what makes it so wonderful is its diversity, that all of us are different.

217

And we shouldn't be embarrassed by the things that make us different.

218

We should be proud of them.

219

Because it's the thing that makes us different that makes us who we are, that makes us unique.

220

And the strength and character of this country has always come from our ability to recognize, no matter who we are,

221

no matter where we come from, no matter what we look like, no matter what abilities we have, to recognize ourselves and each other.

222

I was reminded of that the other day when I read a letter from Tamara Robinson.

223

She's a 12 -year -old girl in Georgia.

224

And she told me about how hard she works and about all the community service she does with her brother.

225

And she wrote, I try to achieve my dreams and help others do the same.

226

That, she said, is how the world should work.

227

That's a pretty good motto.

228

I work hard to achieve my goals, and then I try to help others to achieve their goals.

229

And I agree with Tamara.

230

That's how the world should work.

231

But it's only going to work that way if all of you get in good habits while you're in school.

232

So, yes, each of us need to work hard.

233

We all have to take responsibilities for our own education.

234

We need to take responsibility for our own lives.

235

But what makes us who we are is that here, in this country, in the United States of America,

236

we don't just reach for our own dreams, we try to help others do the same.

237

This is a country that gives all its daughters and all of its sons a fair chance,

238

a chance to make the most of their lives and fulfill their God -given potential.

239

And I'm absolutely confident that if all of our students here at Masterman and across this country keep doing their part,

240

if you guys work hard and you're focused on your education

241

and you keep fighting for your dreams and then you help each other reach each other's dreams, then you're not only going to succeed this year.

242

You're going to succeed for the rest of your lives.

243

And that means America will succeed in the 21st century.

244

So my main message to all of you here today, I couldn't be prouder of it.

245

Keep it up.

246

All of you, I know, are going to do great things in the future, and maybe sometime in the 21st century,

247

it's going to be one of you that's standing up here

248

speaking to a group of kids as President of the United States.

249

Thank you.

250

God bless you.

251

God bless the United States of America.

252

Thank you.

253

Thank you.

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。
