Students of Texas Southern University were inspired by the State of the Union speech and have taken Barack Obama's challenge to become innovative citizens very seriously.
Democrats and Republicans alike were able to sit amongst each other civilly, setting a perfect example for American youth of what change and progress look like.
"When you work together, you get a lot more done that way," said Elliot Miller a journalism student at Texas Southern.
TSU students feel that working together will allow our generation of future leaders to reshape our country.
"Be innovative and create the next best thing" said Aaron Granados, speaking on the message he received from the speech.
Many of his peers had mutual views and found the State of the Union Address to be very progressive.
"I felt like the speech was inspirational to college students" said Menagerie Winston.
President Obama stresses that the welfare of our country starts with making sure the young people are well equipped for the future.
“We need to teach our kids that not just the winner of the Super Bowl needs to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair," said President Obama.
According to the students interviewed, our president leads by great example. He has set out to reform health care, change the school system, and create better jobs and is moving towards accomplishing those goals everyday.
"Everything Obama has set out to do, he's accomplished," said George Foreman IV, "He's a president of action."
The students of Texas Southern are excited for the presidents visions for a more lucrative country to come in to play.
"I believe in my president," said Nadia Childress.
Obama's speech not only stressed the need for a better country and better education, but the importance of self sufficiency.
"Our destiny remains our choice," said Obama in his speech.
The future of the United States of America stands upon not only what we can do together, but what we each can do individually.
