Read the excerpt from "Remarks by the President in a National Address to America's Schoolchildren."
"That’s why today I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education—and do everything you can to meet them.

Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn."

He uses repetition to emphasize that students have options for their goals.
