His speech seems to be having a big impact in many places! And thank you so very much for your kind words about the blog, Tracy. It is so encouraging.

I read the excerpt in the WSJ. Thanks for letting me know about the video of his speech! We’ll watch it, too. Love your blog, Jennifer!

It’s mandatory reading for my kids, too! I think it is something that I might need to reread each year, and perhaps more often. Thanks for your comment, Jessica!

Thanks for sharing.

That’s such a great idea to watch it as a family, Elizabeth! We will do the same.

Our kids grumbled before the video began when they saw that it was 20 minutes in length but were immediately mesmerized and motivated! We all loved it! A wonderful message!!
