【正文】 er if some people just aren’t better at certain know, well, I’m not good at math or I’m just not really interested in my science it is true that we each have our own gifts, we each have our own talents that we have to discover and everybody is going to catch on in certain subjects as easily as just because you’re not the best at something today doesn’t mean you can’t be if you don’t think of yourself as a math person or a science person, you can still excel in those subjects if you’re willing to make the you may find out you have talents you never dreamed one of the things I’ve discovered is excellingwhether it’s in school or in lifeisn’t mainly about being smarter than everybody ’s not really the secret to ’s about working harder than everybody don’t avoid new challengesseek them out, step out of your fort zone, don’t be afraid to ask for teachers and family are there to guide want to know if you’re not catching on to something because they know that if you keep on working at it, you’re going to catch ’t feel discouraged。be proud of them, and see what lessons you can draw from what they’re doing , I’m sort of preaching to the choir here because I know that’s the kind of culture of excellence that you promote at I’m not just speaking to all of you, I’m speaking to kids all across the I want them to all here that same message: That’s the kind of excellence we’ve got to promote in all of America’s ’s one of the reasons why I’m announcing our second Commencement of you may have heard of your school is the winner, if you show us how teachers and students and parents are all working together to prepare your kids and your school for college and a career, if you show us how you’re giving back to your munity and your country, then I will congratulate you in person by speaking at your year I was in Michigan at Kalamazoo and had just a wonderful I got to admit, 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.(Laughter.)But the truth is, an education is about more than getting into a good ’s about more than getting a good job when you ’s about giving each and every one of us the chance to fulfill our promise, and to be the best version of ourselves we can part of that means treating others the way we want to be treatedwith kindness and that’s something else that I want to municate to students not just here at Masterman but all across the kids can be mean to other ’s face don’t always treat each other with respect and ’s true for adults as well, by the sometimes that’s especially true in middle school or high school, because being a teenager isn’t ’s a time when you’re wrestling with a lot of I was in my teens, I was wrestling with all sorts of questions about who I

parents, the best schools in the worldand none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay
