I had heard a little bit of the negativity surrounding the speech beforehand, but I, as they say, ''let it go in one ear, and out the other.'' It was important to me to go in with no opinion, and form one as I watched.
Personally, I think it was great. It was inspiring and informative. He used all of the argumentative strategies we had just been reading about in our books. One of the best parts of his speech was when he was talking about his own experiences. He definitely made himself relatable. He also used real-life examples like Michael Jordan (someone many people respect and admire) to drive home the importance of perseverance. To hear someone as important as the President encourage me to never give up and tell me that it will one day pay off was great.
The best part of watching the speech was looking at the students that were present. It made me laugh to see how some of the students were texting the entire time, whispering with other students or looked just plain bored. The President of the United States of America is speaking at your school. Wake up!
