Right in the Neighborhood

In this video Dave Eggers talks about the importance of one on one time between a teacher and a student. In order to address this problem he created a tutoring center with some of his friends that were writers. What I took away from this video was that people should get involved in their community's public education system to help the children that will be our future. The speaker's effective speaking techniques were to use vocabulary that everyone would understand. It was a little hard to understand him though because he added in extra words such as "uh" that interrupted the flow of the speech and the idea. Egger's presentation style was ignite because it tried to inspire the audience to become more involved in public education. He also used humor to engage the audience and he related to many of viewers by admitting he was nervous. What matters from this video is the change in children's lives when they are given this one on one time with a teacher. What matters is that the kid's grades improved and a community started to build. What matters is that the tutoring centers were easily accessible and right in the neighborhood for help whenever the students needed it. Why all these matter to me is because that the children's lives that are being changed by these tutoring centers will lead our country in the future. This means a brighter future for students and therefore the world as a whole. This means that for me personally my future is brighter because of the one on one time between students and teachers. Why this matters to education is that these tutoring centers can increase students grades and understanding of the material they are learning. This matters to the world because if the younger generation growing up now has a better school experience and understands more it will lead to a brighter future. A brighter future matters matters to education because a brighter can and usually is created by excellent education. This matters to me because living in a brighter future can cause me to be more successful and provide a better future to the generation behind us. What matters is that this education movement could change our future for the better and it could just be right in the neighborhood. How do we know that the future will be more successful though? Do we just guess? Or do we have to make it our own and make it prosperous for ourselves?
