In the President’s speech, he spoke about how he was told by his mom that he was acting like a casual school boy about his future. I realized that’s how I used to act, but then, I realized I needed to start working on what I want to be in the future.
President Obama basically talked about students acting mature about coming back to school, and how they should think about the future.

His speech was very interesting. He talked about his own personal experience in his school life. I took his speech to the heart, he turned his behavior around and he is the president of the USA. His speech meant he expected everyone to do their best on returning back to school and to do and try their best!
