After watching the Presidents’ State of the Union Speech, I
found it is really important to listen to the president of the United States
because Japanese economy is strongly connected to the United States. The first
issue that I felt important was about community college. I thought the
president made a good point. There are many people who would like to get
education to get a better job. However, in order to get a better job, they need
to have a better education. Therefore, he declare the new plan that lower the
cost for community college. I like this idea because if more people get
educated, future of the United States will be brighter and more wealth. Second
issue that I felt important was when he talked about the difference between
people. “We are the people who see our differences as a great gift,” he said. I
like this quotes a lot. Maybe it is because one of my best friends is
transgender, and obviously different from majority of people. If we all could
see differences as a gift, I think the world would be a better place. Third
issue that I felt important was when he mentioned about ISIS. Now, two Japanese
people are in hostage. They are demanding money for ransom. In my opinion, it
is very important to build a world that does not yield to terrorism, and in
order to make like that world, the United States’ actions will be important.
After listening to the speech, I interviewed three friends
of mine. First person I interviewed is Ali Alshagrawi, an Advertising &
Public Relations major student. He thought the speech was good, and the issue
he felt important most was about community college.
Second person I interviewed is Joudy Maestro, a Philosophy
major student. He thought he was the greatest speaker ever. He just know what
to say, and he care about American citizens. I can see a future in America, if
the next presidents doing the work he began, there will be a change. He likes
the humor he incorporated in the speech.
Third person I interviewed is Salman Mohammed, a Computer
Science major student. He said “the speech was great, and I was amazed by how
he talked in there. He did not even look at any paper while he was talking, and
looking into people’s eyes. I could learn how to talk in public place from the
speech well.”
