PAGEPAGE1奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿第一篇：奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿首先，我想談?wù)勀銈儗?duì)于自己有什么責(zé)任。你們中的每一個(gè)人都會(huì)有自己擅長(zhǎng)的東西，每一個(gè)人都是有用之材，而發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能是什么，就是你們要對(duì)自己擔(dān)起的責(zé)任。教育給你們提供了發(fā)現(xiàn)自己才能的機(jī)會(huì)?；蛟S你能寫(xiě)出優(yōu)美的文字——甚至有一天能讓那些文字出現(xiàn)在書(shū)籍和報(bào)刊上——但假如不在英語(yǔ)課上經(jīng)常練習(xí)寫(xiě)作，你不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有這樣的天賦；或許你能成為一個(gè)發(fā)明家、創(chuàng)造家——甚至設(shè)計(jì)出像今天的iPhone一樣流行的產(chǎn)品，或研制出新的藥物與疫苗——但假如不在自然科學(xué)課程上做上幾次實(shí)驗(yàn)，你不會(huì)知道自己有這樣的天賦；或許你能成為一名議員或最高法院法官，但假如你不去加入什么學(xué)生會(huì)或參加幾次辯論賽，你也不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能。而且，我可以向你保證，不管你將來(lái)想要做什么，你都需要相應(yīng)的教育?！阆氘?dāng)名醫(yī)生、當(dāng)名教師或當(dāng)名警官？你想成為護(hù)士、成為建筑設(shè)計(jì)師、律師或軍人？無(wú)論你選擇哪一種職業(yè)，良好的教育都必不可少，這世上不存在不把書(shū)念完就能拿到好工作的美夢(mèng)，任何工作，都需要你的汗水、訓(xùn)練與學(xué)習(xí)。第二篇：奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿.txt——某天你一定會(huì)感謝那個(gè)遺棄你的人，感謝那個(gè)你曾深愛(ài)著卻置之你不顧的人。做一個(gè)沒(méi)心沒(méi)肺的人,比什么都強(qiáng)。________舍不得又怎樣到最后還不是說(shuō)散就散?？偨y(tǒng):嗨,大家好!謝謝你。謝謝你。謝謝你,每一個(gè)人。好吧,每個(gè)人都走在前面,有一個(gè)座位。大家都今天要做什么?(喝彩).蒂姆Spicer怎么樣?(喝彩).我在這里用學(xué)生高中勝在阿林頓國(guó)家公墓,維吉尼亞。而且我們有學(xué)生在美國(guó)所有的調(diào)整,從幼兒園到12th品位。我只是很高興能加入我們今天所有。我要感謝長(zhǎng)得這么一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的主人。給你們自己熱烈的掌聲。(喝彩).我知道你們中的很多,今天是開(kāi)學(xué)的第一天。對(duì)于那些你在幼兒園,還是開(kāi)始中學(xué)或大學(xué),今天是你第一天在一所新學(xué)校,所以它是可以理解的,如果你是一個(gè)有些緊張。我想有一些老年人有心情不錯(cuò),現(xiàn)在是-(掌聲)-只有一年多的時(shí)間去。無(wú)論你是幾年級(jí),你們中有些人可能希望它還是夏天,你可能已經(jīng)躺在床上只是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)時(shí)間今天早上。我知道那種感覺(jué)。當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候,我的家人住在國(guó)外。我在印度尼西亞呆過(guò)幾年。和我的媽媽,她沒(méi)錢(qián)給我,在那里所有的美國(guó)孩子上學(xué)了,但是她認(rèn)為這件事很重要,我趕上美國(guó)教育。所以她決定要教我額外的課程,她從星期一到星期五。但是因?yàn)樗坏貌蝗スぷ?只有一次,她所能做的就是在4:30在早上?，F(xiàn)在,正如你所能想象的,我還不太滿意,早期起床。還有許多的時(shí)候,我就會(huì)睡著了的權(quán)利,有在廚房的桌子旁。但每當(dāng)我抱怨,我媽媽會(huì)給我那些看起來(lái),她會(huì)說(shuō),“這可不是鬧著玩的,我不是克星?！?笑聲)。)所以我知道你們中的一些人還在調(diào)整回學(xué)校了。但我今天在這里,因?yàn)槲矣兄匾氖虑橐湍闵塘?。我在這里,因?yàn)槲蚁敫阏務(wù)勀愕慕逃?什么是你們所有人的期望在這個(gè)新學(xué)年?，F(xiàn)在,我已經(jīng)給了很多關(guān)于教育的講話。和我談過(guò)很多責(zé)任。我一直在談?wù)撚嘘P(guān)教師負(fù)責(zé)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生和推動(dòng)你去學(xué)習(xí)。我談過(guò)你父母的責(zé)任,確保你呆在賽道上，你就做你的功課,不要把醒著的每時(shí)每刻或在電視機(jī)前有更大的。我談了很多關(guān)于你的政府責(zé)任為背景的高標(biāo)準(zhǔn),及與之相配套的教師和校長(zhǎng),轉(zhuǎn)身不奏效,學(xué)校,學(xué)生沒(méi)有得到機(jī)會(huì),他們應(yīng)得的報(bào)應(yīng)。但在一天結(jié)束的時(shí)候,我們可以擁有最勇于奉獻(xiàn)的教師,最支持的家長(zhǎng),最好的學(xué)校,也沒(méi)有一個(gè)世界——它將發(fā)揮重要的作用,但除非你所有的問(wèn)題將承擔(dān)起你的責(zé)任,除非你出現(xiàn),這些學(xué)校,除非你注意到這些教師,除非你聽(tīng)你的父母和祖父母和其他成年人和放在努力工作要成功。這正是我想把重心集中在今天:你們每一個(gè)人都有責(zé)任為你所受的教育吧。我想開(kāi)始負(fù)責(zé)你自己。每一個(gè)你有什么你擅長(zhǎng)的。每一個(gè)你有東西給你。你有責(zé)任去你自己發(fā)現(xiàn)那是什么。這是一個(gè)教育能提供的機(jī)會(huì)。也許你能成為一個(gè)偉大的作家——或許是足以寫(xiě)一本書(shū),或在報(bào)紙上的文章,但你可能不知道,直到你寫(xiě)英語(yǔ),英語(yǔ)課程論文紙張——這是分配給你的。也許你能成為一名創(chuàng)造者或發(fā)明人——或許是足以想出第二蘋(píng)果或是新醫(yī)學(xué)或疫苗,但你可能不知道,直到你為你的科學(xué)課項(xiàng)目。也許你可以是一個(gè)市長(zhǎng)或參議員或最高法院的大法官——但你可能不知道,直到你加入學(xué)生會(huì)或辯論隊(duì)。無(wú)論你想做什么你的生活,我保證你會(huì)需要一個(gè)教育來(lái)做這件事。你想要成為一個(gè)醫(yī)生,或一位教師,或一個(gè)警察嗎?你想成為一名護(hù)士或建筑師、律師和我們的軍隊(duì)的一員嗎?你需要一個(gè)良好的教育為每一個(gè)人的職業(yè)生涯。你不能退學(xué)就掉到一份好工作。你必須訓(xùn)練它,為它工作和學(xué)習(xí)。這不僅僅是重要的為自己的生活以及你自己的未來(lái)。你使你受的教育將決定不少于這個(gè)國(guó)家的前途。美國(guó)的未來(lái)取決于你們。你今天在學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)將決定,作為一個(gè)國(guó)家,我們能滿足我們的最大的挑戰(zhàn),在未來(lái)的。你所需要的知識(shí)和解決問(wèn)題的能力你學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)治愈疾病,如癌癥和艾滋病的方法,并開(kāi)發(fā)新的能源技術(shù)和保護(hù)我們的環(huán)境。你將會(huì)需要洞察力和critical-thinking技能你獲得在歷史和社會(huì)研究來(lái)對(duì)抗貧窮與無(wú)家可歸、犯罪和歧視,使我們的國(guó)家更公平、更自由。你需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造力和聰明才智你開(kāi)發(fā)你所有的課程來(lái)建立新的公司,創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),促進(jìn)我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)。我們需要每一個(gè)你發(fā)展你的才能和你的技巧和你的智力,這樣你就能幫助我們解決我們的老人們最困難的問(wèn)題。如果你不這樣做——如果你離開(kāi)學(xué)校,你不只是在自己身上,你辭職離開(kāi)你的國(guó)家?，F(xiàn)在,我知道這并不總是容易的在學(xué)校要好好的做。我知道你們很多人在你的生活中有挑戰(zhàn),現(xiàn)在可以很難集中精神做作業(yè)。我總是能得到它。我知道它是什么樣的。我父親留給我的家人在我兩歲的時(shí)候,我生長(zhǎng)在一個(gè)單親媽媽不得不工作,有時(shí)在付賬單,并且不是總能給我們其他孩子的事。有好幾次我錯(cuò)過(guò)了有一個(gè)父親在我的生命中。有好幾次我很孤單,我覺(jué)得我不合身。所以我并不總是像我應(yīng)該集中在學(xué)校,我做了一些事情,我并不以此為榮,還有更多的麻煩比我應(yīng)該這樣做的。和我的生活很容易就會(huì)采取一種使其變得更糟。但我就是--我很幸運(yùn)。我收到了很多第二次機(jī)會(huì),我有機(jī)會(huì)去大學(xué)和法學(xué)院,之后跟隨我的夢(mèng)想。我的妻子,我們的第一夫人米歇爾奧巴馬,她有一個(gè)類似的故事。她的父母也曾上過(guò)大學(xué),他們沒(méi)有很多錢(qián)。但是他們努力工作,她工作很努力,這樣她可以去最好的學(xué)校在這個(gè)國(guó)家。你們中的一些人可能沒(méi)有那些優(yōu)勢(shì)。也許你沒(méi)有成年人在你的生命中給你你所需要的支持。也許別人在你的家人已經(jīng)失去了他們自己的工作,而沒(méi)有足夠的錢(qián)能使鬼推磨。也許你住在一個(gè)地方你覺(jué)得不安全,或有兩個(gè)朋友,他們是你做事情施加壓力,你知道那樣不對(duì)。但在一天結(jié)束的時(shí)候,你生活的境況——你的樣子,你來(lái)自哪里、你有多少錢(qián),你得到了什么要在家,但那是一個(gè)借口疏忽了你的家庭作業(yè)或一個(gè)不好的態(tài)度在學(xué)校。那不是借口頂嘴而你的老師或蹺課,或跌出學(xué)校。沒(méi)有理由不去嘗試。你現(xiàn)在何處沒(méi)有決定在這里你將結(jié)束。沒(méi)有人寫(xiě)過(guò)你的命運(yùn)對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō),因?yàn)樵诿绹?guó),你寫(xiě)你自己的命運(yùn)。你會(huì)創(chuàng)造自己的未來(lái)。這就是年輕人喜歡你所做的每一天,整個(gè)美國(guó)。年輕人喜歡Jazmin法勒斯,從羅馬,德克薩斯州。Jazmin不講英語(yǔ)當(dāng)她第一次開(kāi)始上學(xué)。她的父母也不去上大學(xué)。但她工作很努力,成績(jī)不俗,獲得了布朗大學(xué)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金——現(xiàn)在是在大學(xué)的時(shí)候,公共衛(wèi)生研究將成為博士Jazmin法勒斯。我在考慮,從Andoni舒爾茨,來(lái)自加利福尼亞州洛斯拉圖斯,誰(shuí)是腦癌戰(zhàn)斗因?yàn)樗侨齻€(gè)。他不得不忍受各種治療和手術(shù),其中一個(gè)影響了他的記憶,他花更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間數(shù)百小時(shí)做他的作業(yè)。但他從未落后了。他將于今年秋天大學(xué)已經(jīng)前往。然后還有的Shantell史蒂夫,從我的家鄉(xiāng)芝加哥,伊利諾斯州。即使跳躍,從寄養(yǎng)家庭寄養(yǎng)家庭在最艱難的社區(qū)在城市,她設(shè)法找一份工作,在當(dāng)?shù)匾患裔t(yī)療中心,開(kāi)始一個(gè)程序,保持年輕幫派的人,她的路徑上高中畢業(yè)與榮譽(yù)和你去上大學(xué)。和Jazmin,Andoni,Shantell不會(huì)有任何不同于你們中的任何一人。在他們的生活中面臨挑戰(zhàn)就像你也需要一樣。在某些情況下,他們已經(jīng)得到了很多景況比你們中許多人。但他們拒絕放棄。他們?cè)敢獬袚?dān)他們的生活,因?yàn)樗麄兊慕逃?并將他們的目標(biāo)設(shè)立。我希望你們所有的人來(lái)做同樣的事情。這就是為什么我今天呼吁你們每一個(gè)人都來(lái)設(shè)定自己的目標(biāo),為你的教育—和你所能見(jiàn)到他們。你的目標(biāo)可以簡(jiǎn)單的事,做你的家庭作業(yè),關(guān)注類或每天花些時(shí)間閱讀一本書(shū)。也許你會(huì)決定參與課外活動(dòng),或一個(gè)志愿者在你的社區(qū)里呼吁。也許你會(huì)決定挺身而出時(shí),他們的孩子,他們都是被耍弄或欺負(fù),因?yàn)樗麄兪钦l(shuí),或者他們?cè)趺纯?因?yàn)槟阆嘈?就像我現(xiàn)在所作的,所有的年輕人都應(yīng)該有一個(gè)安全的環(huán)境研究和學(xué)習(xí)。也許你會(huì)決定更好地照顧自己,所以你可以更愿意去學(xué)習(xí)。和沿著正確的方向,順便說(shuō)一句,我希望大家要洗手,并使你的很多呆在家中而不到校上課,當(dāng)你感覺(jué)不太舒服,所以我們可以使人免于流感這秋天和冬天。但無(wú)論你決定做什么,我想要你下決心去做。我想讓你真正的工作。我知道有時(shí)候你會(huì)從電視,那種感覺(jué)可能使你變得富裕和成功沒(méi)有任何困難的工作——你的機(jī)票,成功通過(guò)籃球或作為一個(gè)饒舌歌或電視真人秀的明星。機(jī)會(huì)是你不會(huì)被那些事情。事實(shí)是,追求成功是很難的。你不會(huì)喜歡你學(xué)習(xí)的每一個(gè)學(xué)科。你不會(huì)點(diǎn)擊每個(gè)老師你帶來(lái)了。并不是每一個(gè)作業(yè)似乎完全能夠滿足自己的生活就在這一刻。而你,不一定成功,一切您第一次嘗試。沒(méi)問(wèn)題。一些最成功的世界上的人,是那些有最失敗。羅琳的哈利·波特她是誰(shuí)寫(xiě)的哈利波特第一次被拒絕了12次之前,它終于出版了。邁克爾·喬丹在高中時(shí)曾被?；@球隊(duì)除名。他失去了數(shù)以百計(jì)的比賽,錯(cuò)過(guò)了成千上萬(wàn)的球在他的職業(yè)生涯。但他曾說(shuō)過(guò),“我失敗了,反反復(fù)復(fù),在我的生命中。這就是為什么我成功。”這些人成功了,因?yàn)樗麄兠靼啄悴荒茏屇愕氖《x你——你必須要讓你的失敗教訓(xùn)你。你必須讓他們告訴你該做什么不同下一次。所以,如果你遇到麻煩,那并不意味著你是一個(gè)制造麻煩的分子,它意味著你需要更努力行為的權(quán)利。如果你得到一個(gè)壞分?jǐn)?shù),這并不意味著你是愚蠢的,它只是意味著你需要花更多的時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)。沒(méi)有人天生善于一切。你成為好的東西通過(guò)艱苦的工作。你不是一個(gè)大學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)代表隊(duì)的運(yùn)動(dòng)員第一次扮演一個(gè)新的運(yùn)動(dòng)。你別打每一個(gè)音符,你第一次唱一首歌。你必須練習(xí)。同樣的原理運(yùn)用到你的作業(yè)。你可能要做一道數(shù)學(xué)題了幾圈,然后你把事情辦好。你可以讀一些了幾圈,然后你了解它。你一定要做幾份草稿紙之前,它的足夠好交上來(lái)。不要害怕問(wèn)問(wèn)題。不要害怕尋求幫助,當(dāng)你需要它的時(shí)候。我認(rèn)為每一天。求助不是軟弱的表現(xiàn),它是一個(gè)實(shí)力的表現(xiàn)因?yàn)樗硎灸阌杏職獬姓J(rèn)當(dāng)你不知道一些東西,這就會(huì)讓你去學(xué)習(xí)新的東西。因此找出一個(gè)成年人,你信任——父母、祖父母或者老師、教練或輔導(dǎo)員——讓他們幫助你保持跟蹤去實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)。甚至當(dāng)你掙扎,即使在你難過(guò)的時(shí)候,你會(huì)感到沮喪,別人也有放棄你,永遠(yuǎn)不要放棄你自己,因?yàn)楫?dāng)你放棄自己,你放棄了你的國(guó)家。美國(guó)的故事不是關(guān)于那些放棄當(dāng)事情的態(tài)度強(qiáng)硬起來(lái)。這是關(guān)于人們不停地努力,熱愛(ài)自己的祖國(guó),太多的人做任何事都比不上他們的最佳狀態(tài)。這是這個(gè)故事的學(xué)生坐在你們坐250年前,并且繼續(xù)發(fā)動(dòng)一場(chǎng)革命,他們成立了這個(gè)國(guó)家。年輕人。學(xué)生坐在你們坐75年前克服了抑郁和贏得世界戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),誰(shuí)為民權(quán)奮戰(zhàn),將人類送上月球。學(xué)生坐在你坐在哪里20XX創(chuàng)立谷歌和呢喃,并且改變我們留言互相交流。所以今天,我想問(wèn)一下你們所有的人,你的貢獻(xiàn)將會(huì)嗎?出什么問(wèn)題要解決?你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)什么?一位總統(tǒng),他會(huì)來(lái)這兒,在20XX50或100年說(shuō)你們是這個(gè)國(guó)家?現(xiàn)在,你的家庭、你的老師和我做的每件事情都能讓你有教育你需要回答這些問(wèn)題。我正在努力搞定你的教室,讓你的書(shū)籍和設(shè)備和電腦你需要學(xué)習(xí)。但你得做你的一部分了。所以我想你們都要認(rèn)真今年。我希望你把你最好的精力在你所做的一切。我期望從你們每個(gè)人的大事。所以,請(qǐng)不要讓我們失望。不要讓你的家人失望或你的祖國(guó)失望。最重要的是,不要讓自己失望。讓我們感到驕傲。非常感謝你,每一個(gè)人。上帝保佑你。上帝保佑美國(guó)。謝謝你。(喝彩).第三篇：奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿WakefieldHighSchoolArlington,VirginiaTHEPRESIDENT:Hello,everybody!Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou,everybody.Allright,everybodygoaheadandhaveaseat.Howiseverybodydoingtoday?(Applause.)HowaboutTimSpicer?(Applause.)IamherewithstudentsatWakefieldHighSchoolinArlington,Virginia.Andwe'vegotstudentstuninginfromallacrossAmerica,fromkindergartenthrough12thgrade.AndIamjustsogladthatallcouldjoinustoday.AndIwanttothankWakefieldforbeingsuchanoutstandinghost.Giveyourselvesabigroundofapplause.(Applause.)Iknowthatformanyofyou,todayisthefirstdayofschool.Andforthoseofyouinkindergarten,orstartingmiddleorhighschool,it'syourfirstdayinanewschool,soit'sunderstandableifyou'realittlenervous.Iimaginetherearesomeseniorsouttherewhoarefeelingprettygoodrightnow--(applause)--withjustonemoreyeartogo.Andnomatterwhatgradeyou'rein,someofyouareprobablywishingitwerestillsummerandyoucould'vestayedinbedjustalittlebitlongerthismorning.Iknowthatfeeling.WhenIwasyoung,myfamilylivedoverseas.IlivedinIndonesiaforafewyears.Andmymother,shedidn'thavethemoneytosendmewherealltheAmericankidswenttoschool,butshethoughtitwasimportantformetokeepupwithanAmericaneducation.Soshedecidedtoteachmeextralessonsherself,MondaythroughFriday.Butbecauseshehadtogotowork,theonlytimeshecoulddoitwasat4:30inthemorning.Now,asyoumightimagine,Iwasn'ttoohappyaboutgettingupthatearly.Andalotoftimes,I'dfallasleeprightthereatthekitchentable.ButwheneverI'dcomplain,mymotherwouldjustgivemeoneofthoselooksandshe'dsay,“Thisisnopicnicformeeither,buster.”(Laughter.)SoIknowthatsomeofyouarestilladjustingtobeingbackatschool.ButI'mheretodaybecauseIhavesomethingimportanttodiscusswithyou.I'mherebecauseIwanttotalkwithyouaboutyoureducationandwhat'sexpectedofallofyouinthisnewschoolyear.Now,I'vegivenalotofspeechesabouteducation.AndI'vetalkedaboutresponsibilityalot.I'vetalkedaboutteachers'responsibilityforinspiringstudentsandpushingyoutolearn.I'vetalkedaboutyourparents'responsibilityformakingsureyoustayontrack,andyougetyourhomeworkdone,anddon'tspendeverywakinghourinfrontoftheTVorwiththeXbox.I'vetalkedalotaboutyourgovernment'sresponsibilityforsettinghighstanda
