There are many powerful people in the world and many people who you should look up to. President Obama is one of the people many people strive to be like. Mr. Obama has a way of articulating himself to make people believe in him. President Obama has the perservirance to strive to make America a better place. "No matter how much you've done, how successful you've been, there is always more to do." Everyone was put on the earth to do something, help someone or be a role model for someone. We all can help eachother and there is "always more to learn" about the world we live in today. Today most of the people try to strive to become the best possible person. We learn that "you can't rest, your own body of work is to come" and if you keep going and working realy hard you'll reach your potential. Some kids in high school don't face reality, like myself. We all don't want to think about leaving high school having to get a job and actually have to live on our own. Our parents nurture us until they think we can fly on our own. We all must sometime wake up from our dream and realize "a new generation is called apon to make a new world." President Obama has a very clear way of saying this in his commencement speech.

Not all of us are blessed with wealthiness, happiness and healthiness. We all has human's struggle, but without struggle there is no progress. We need to learn as a generation that the world doesn't revolve around one particular person. We all have agendas and goals to fulfill. Listening to Oprah Winfrey's commencement speech made me realize that just because your not making something out of yourself when your young doesn't mean you can't create the person you want to become. "Helping others is a way to help our selves" and when we start to think we're failing you have a lot of reasons why you should be smiling.
