Yea for school!
Quote
   The story of America isnít about people who quit when things got tough. It is about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.
    It is the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.
- President Barack Obama
