When I was a young man, I though life was all about me — about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your     1     and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greastest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t     2     for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and     3     in yours.

I want all our children to go to schools     5     of their potential — schools that     6     them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college — even if their parents aren’t rich.

And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free — that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great     10    .
