33. Referring to the speech, did anyone listen or watch it?
I did, and I thought it was very moving. When he told the children that everyone of them had something to offer, it was just beautiful. I wish someone had said something like that to me when I was young. To often, when you are young, you compare yourself to others, and somehow you feel you don't measure up. It is so easy to use this as an excuse and give up.
Our President, with just that one sentence, made millions of children feel special today.
