If I Were President
If I were president, I would focus on the central issue that will carry this country into the future: education. Education is the reason we are living in such an advanced time. We have touch screen, motion activated, voice command, and all these amazing things and all we have to thank is education. It has been our roots and rocks for years, and should be for many more to reach our high point.

Education, although a long-term investment, will benefit this nation better than bailouts, mandatory health care coverage for children, investment in new energy sources, or the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Although it appears that there are more important, situations that the United States is facing now, the fact is that with an increase in education comes a decrease in these problems in the future. Without education, society will never understand the effects of drugs, the difference between religions, the importance of financial security for emergencies, the requirement for energy independence, or the need for health insurance.

Education gives Americans higher wages, job flexibility and security, and growth in American ingenuity; however, education also gives one piece for prosperity that neither a government handout or an energy efficient car can bring, hope. One learns that with education come endless opportunities in all aspects. Throughout the world, education has brought hope for people. A chance for education brought hope to the young Afghan girl who finally learned to read.

Education is one of few things that people can carry with them all their lives. Often times, what we learn in school, sticks with us for a long time to come. The need for Education can never be stressed enough! I believe that the more we are able to get children interested in getting their full education earlier in life, more people would be more successful. If we could have strongly educated teachers reaching out to kids and leading them down the path to the right education, I believe

    If I were the President of the United States, the first major challenge I would address is the state of our economy.

Obama plans to end the war by 2014 and use half the money that would be spent on the war, and use it for roads, bridges, runways and schools and the other half on paying the deficit.…

    If people are educated it makes it easier for them to later move onto college and higher education which then will lead to more employment options. “ We observe that student achievement in the United States is estimated to have increased by 1.6% of a standard deviation.” (Hanushek, Woessmann, Peterson) a standard deviation is the increments shown on a graph in which measures the extent of differences between the the subjects being compared. While 1.6% of a deviation doesn't sound like a lot, it makes a big difference when talking about education, if the US keeps making steady increases in education quality, and student achievement everyone will be able to get a quality education which will then benefit them later in life. The increases in education that our country has been making sets up children for success at an early age, teaching them to work hard at their goals and that education can get them where they want to be. “US students in elementary school do seem to be performing considerably better than they were a couple of decades ago.Most notably, the performance of 4th grade students on math tests rose steeply between the mid-1990’s and 2011.” (Hanushek, Woessmann, Peterson) The unemployment rates for those with only a high school education was 6.3%…
