Universities usually look at grade 11 and 12 marks, but mostly 12 (unless you’re looking for a scholarship, then it will be your grade 11 marks, usually with a condition that you must maintain an average grade in grade 12). But if you work super hard in your last year you can still go to a good school. The problem is if they’re deciding between you and another student and the student has better marks in their earlier years aswell.
You also have to remember back then it was easier to get into college. Less requirements and effort. You probably only had to take three APs and join a club to get into a good university. You can ask older people
He didn’t take highschool* seriously. He just have changed at some point his Junior/senior year because he went to Occidental. After Occidental he finished his degree at Colombia and then went to Harvard Law. Bottom line is he’s saying he started bad but finished strong
“Lots of people say I was the best at getting high. I was the highest president, apart from maybe Abe Lincoln. My high was beautiful, it was a beautiful high”.
Such, a great high, an extreme high, possibly even the highest high. Great high, great, great high. Some say I was good, possibly even the greatest of all time. I think I’m better at getting high than Obama.
This speech is about one's faith in oneself's abilities, possibilities and overcoming obstacles. CNN surmises that the title should be "Obama: I used to get high".
***** Do you know the reality for the majority of the children raised in destructive/abusive environments? What's the point in lying to them and telling them that they will all be able to live the "American Dream" if they just work hard and do the right things?
@J unk All the presidents have to be fine with aggressive foreign policy and "collateral damage" The oil companies, arms manufacturers, secret services, and other power people have their interests that the president must serve. Lest they end up like JFK. Each present is a monster with a different mask.
everyone has to agree that he presented himself much better than Trump'' It's debatable. But there is no way Barry was as competent as Trump. Trump ran the nation like a champ. Results are what matter, not pretty talk. Trump got results that mattered.
Didn’t really like Obama as a President. However, I will fully admit he is extremely personable and open which is a great quality. Unfortunately I just don’t agree with the way he ran, but he was our president and I respect and appreciate that.
tjcervi that’s what politicians do man, when they are younger if they have charisma they can be extremely personable and persuasive, even if they are pandering and spouting bullshit
Obozo never ran a business, never signed a paycheck, never made a product people wanted to buy. Are you sure you want to use the words 'Obozo' and 'hard work' in the same sentence.
@Xantoven what about "coronavirus will go away, even though its a terrible disease and those dont go away, and what about his imaginary voter fraud claims
@Xantoven coronavirus is similar to the flu. The flu pandemic was 100 years ago, has the flu gone away, oh wait. He said that mail in ballot is a scam to make people scared to vote by mail and also not want to vote at a poll, scaring people to try and win the election. Its just like him
stereotyp Wow, our country improving...a thing of the PRESENT. I suggest you expand your mind a bit and consider other views...you might just learn something.
This was actually so fucking good. It wasn’t some sob story about how hard he had it or whatever, he told it as is, it was hard but not as hard as how these kids might have it. He didn’t make this about him, hut used his own experience as an example of what he sees. THIS is how you lead, not make everyone feel sad for you, or force your power, you tell them that their bad experience is something they can recover from if they really put the effort into it, and if they can’t, then there will be people there to help you.
@@dylananderson6358 Not even that much, his father paid Donald regularly until his death because Donald even fucking failed at running things as simple as casinos.
perhaps this title is designed to lead kids who are getting high to click on the video and henceforth listen to the broader message. shame on CNN? the shame is yours
You don't have to label yourself a republican, you're just a well informed and likely compassionate human being. We're all Americans. The point of voting is to choose a leader who helps ALL of us, and people who are smart understand that. Left, right, blue, red, green, yellow, who cares. You have integrity and that's not something that can be said for everyone on either side. Vote for who will be a good leader, not your favorite color.
I sure do miss President Obama. I disagreed with a lot of the things he did, but man... it's like... you don't realize what you had until it was gone and then you had worse.
you don't realize what you had until it was gone and then you had worse.'' Oh, we realized alright. Glad he's gone, but now we're stuck with Biden the cheater.
Man, when he speaks I feel like an elder in my house giving me advice. Not an ex president. That's why he will keep living in people's hearts long after he has had vacated the white house. The badge doesn't matter, the person does.
Mary Claire This man had inspired a new generation of youth. youre saying he didnt do anything? cmon the man literally puts fire in the hearts of those who have nothing. hes a symbol of hope for most AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN ESPECIALLY. sorry you dont feel as inspired. a president doesnt have to always be politically correct and fix every damn problem in the world, thats not possible. but when someone like him becomes the leader of the free world it sets insight for others on how they can become something from nothing. ahhh the first african american president. I AM PROUD.
@@jaedentee3324 yes I do. While Obama was in office hundreds of civilians in the Middle East and Somalia were drone striked. Under international law the person you are killing has to pose an imminent threat to you. These killings are war crimes. Every president in the last 70 years is a war criminal.
@@kobehayes4827 I mean there’s no specific reason, however I do think it’s important people know the truth about America. There are a lot of things the US has done in the past that are less than favorable.
@@beaudanonstork8855 Actually weed can totally harm you, psychological addiction is no joke, I see plenty of stoners doing jack shit cause they get high all the time.
Noah Patrick weed isn’t chemically addictive you can quit any time you want lol. It’s all a matter of will power if you can’t smoke weed and succeed then you’re just weak. Not tryna be rude or anything, but so many people I know have 4.0 GPAs in college and smoke weed every single day.
While I don’t agree with everything Obama authorized during his presidency, I find comfort knowing that he is human, just like the rest of us, and like him I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity the same he was, from the support of my family, my community, my teachers and so on. Thank you.
It's not people of color, its people without the appropriate home conditions, parents, regardless of class, ethnicity, race, nationality, etc. I'm speaking from experience. This man is easily one of the best three presidents that the US has ever had
yeah man.... US people dont even realise our manipulated they are and what people think about them cause they are taught to belive US is the greatest nation on earth blablabla... governament propaganda bs.. wich leads to honest people throwing theyr lives through the window defending a myth... #THINKFORURSELF
Inail Aislin hey dumb ass, the majority of american people know they are being manipulated and we know what other countries think of us because of main stream media. Also every country uses propaganda to say they are the greatest nation on earth. it doesn't lead honest people into throwing their life away. it leads honest people into just going with the flow of things trying to make a living, and become successful within the machine instead of going against the flow and being crushed like a moron. no one defends shit besides the place and way that they live. so why dont you follow your own hash tag and think for your self instead of being a moron thinking that what you just said is original and shocking and a radical crazy new way of thinking to others.so if you are so awake and individual and you think for your self, they why dont you rise up and change the system? because you are too fucking stupid and you think you are more original and smarter and more awake than everyone else and you are being manipulated even more by the system than everyone else. thats why. and if you dont think so then look at almost everything on the internet. it says be original and be individual and go against the flow and do/say exactly what you are doing/saying right now and blah blah blah. and your just another fucking clone. fucking moron. why dont you grow a set and actually do something different that what they expect you to do? oh wait ill answer that for you. because you are to fucking stupid to understand that you can do more damage from within than you can from standing outside knocking on the door. idiot......ok im done. i got my frustration out.
wow you’re so right, obama’s charismatic attitude brings us so much hope. I wonder what the innocent children in Afghanistan feel about his “charismatic” attitude when they had to bury their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters because there house got destroyed by a drone strike.
just to make it clear, i don’t support trump at all, i believe he has led to the second biggest division of the united states only to the civil war. I don’t agree with almost everything he does, but i will not just blindly say Obama was a great president, or that he gave me hope just because Trump isn’t any better.
@@BlakeLovesPoland "Even though you are a war criminal, you are charismatic and funny and good at public-speaking, and that means you are an amazing president".
Master Of Disguise People are scared that if they hate on the black president then they will be called out for being racist. That’s literally the only reason Obama won.
@@BlakeLovesPoland There have been more drone attacks under Trumps four years than there were under Obama’s 8. Not only that but Trump removed a policy that Obama created that required a public report of drone deaths to be made. Obama had his faults no doubt about it, but trump is one of the worst presidents policy and culturally wise that we have seen in a long time
@@cole1493 I agree that Trump is an awful president, but just because Trump is bad doesn’t excuse Obama’s actions. I spoke on Obama’s drone usage because it is a video of obama, and the comment was about Obama. I completely agree with you about trump.
Andy Fam just saying trump hasn’t done shiz he said he would either, it’s been 1 year and all he did was he managed to shutdown the government WHILE HE HAD MAJORITY. Yup he is clearly a great president. Oh are you in the middle class, pay more taxes for the rich don’t want to pay taxes.
Does anyone see a similarity to Chappelle in Obama or is it just me? Maybe it’s their age or their cadence but both are incredible story tellers, able to weave humor into things that are hard to hear or look at so that we must look at those subjects.
I recognize myself in this speech. I almost dropped out from school several times. Some teachers even thought I was dumb. But I had the chance to have a wonderful mother who always believed in me and took importance decisions for me. It didn't prevent me from doing mistakes but it prevent these mistakes from ruining my life. I may not be president but I know my future is bright and this makes me very happy.
I can not understand for a president I only voted for once and did not really like I really really am going to miss him. I think he is by far the most charismatic president I've ever witnessed. Going from Bush who by far was the most embarrassing president to him was such a huge contrast
As opposed to the times when his drone strikes killed black and brown children thousands of miles away or when his administration deported millions of migrants, leaving hundreds of thousands of children separated? Shows how immoral and evil you truly are.
Ricky Rhoades One could stop talking like Gollum or a Jedi if one wants to communicate one's views in one way effectively... ... one. I was joking about the getting high bit and I don't condemn a fat blunt once in a while haha.
Vinnie Huish he pulled us out of the housing recession. Put financial regulation in place to prevent or to at least attempt to prevent it from happening again. He got millions of people health care. Pushing for healthier school meals. To be fair it is hard to mass produce healthy foods, but I do appreciate their efforts. School food actually tasted better in my district after the reform. (this may not be the case in every district. Appointed 2 Supreme Court Justices, he began the removal of troops from Iraq. His administration pushed the TPP. This had good and bad properties. Overall he was a decent president. Not perfect but had good intentions.
Yup, *but as long as you remain consistent and driven in your goals, and ALWAYS maintain a positive attitude - things will eventually plan out as best intended
