High School and the future?????

Here in NYC, our 8th graders have received notice of their high school placements for next year. Some of them were happy, some were not. High school is important because it helps set you up for the future and get you ready for college and beyond.

Barack Obama gave a great speech to the youth of the USA at the beginning of the year about the importance of education and making goals. You can watch it here:


Do you have goals for your future? What are they? How will you begin to achieve them? Are you thinking about high school and beyond?
