America needs to get up and not die.  She is laying in a bed of debt that wants to suffocate her but she’s got the power within to get up and get going again.  She cannot allow anything to stop her.  As Americans, we need to be industrious again and on the cutting edge of everything.  Only getting her eyes open is not enough because she needs to breathe in the oxygen of determination to regain strength.  Each new day should be a challenge to get the job done before the end of the day.  America can pay attention to the small things which will turn her around in big ways.  I believe these ideals will foster a better environment for children learning in the classroom.  Let us never neglect what has gotten us through before – unity.  We cannot fail because there are generations yet to come who are depending on us!
