Commencement Challenge
It isn’t too early to think of high school graduation. In fact if your teen is thinking about graduation now, they are making all the right moves to get themselves there. A great part of graduation for parents is certainly watching their teen graduate, but the other part is the commencement speech. There are few speakers more sought after than the president maybe, Oprah? Well this year, the president could come to your teen’s school.
President Obama with his Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan have come up with a brilliant idea to get teens excited about their education and their school. This idea spring boards off the Speech to Students President Obama gave early in the school year about expectations laid out for academics in this country.
Now, the President is choosing to assume that level of academic excellence has been met and he wants to know how your teen thought they were able to pull that off within their high school environment. Write these essays well in the application and your teen could win the most sought after commencement speaker of all time, the president.
For more information and application you can go to Commencement Challenge. Good luck!
