Obama Applauds YWS in Community Service Speech

Griffinkeeper · 2009-09-28T02:43:19Z

Video Link here. In a recent speech to high school students, President Obama mentioned YWS. Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future. That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America. Young people like Nathan Caldwell, from Bethesda, Maryland. Nathan didn’t write much when he was a kid. Hardly anyone his age did. It was his English teacher, Mr. Wiggin, who first ignited his passion for writing. It wasn't easy, but he worked hard, and now he is the webmaster of the Young Writers Society, which promotes writing as a past time for young adults. America needs more people like Nathan. We have been experiencing a record number of new members and member activity, and this explains it. Big Brother is honored that YWS was featured so prominently and we credit our success to all of you. And Nate. Because both of you are so awesome.

And wow. Great to see what rumors grif started in 2009. Nowhere near as good as Nate being from Vulcan but still a class act.

Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path then by all means you should follow that.
