Oreo Video

This video really gave me better insight into the issues of the United States. I was able to better understand what the government was doing with the citizen’s money. I always watch the news on the topics and it is so easily to get caught up in other people’s opinion. I have always thought that it was important to provide more money for schools. I understand that it is important also to protect our country as well. But growing up in a black community, I have experienced what can happen when a good education is not given or received. When I was in high school, I knew of many students who dropped out of school or just did not care about school. But now that I am in college, I see those same friends that wished that they could have finished high school and attended college. Most people still want to attend school but just do not have the money or knowledge of what to do. I think that education should start in the early part of a child’s life. With all the debate surrounding President Obama, I really like the fact that he is focus on developing early education. The Head Start programs meet the needs of many children and families. I truly believe great education and character starts at home. Head Start provides quality care and services for child and family development. With these programs, studies show that children benefit in the long term and they provide better home environments. I was in Head Start with I was very young.
