For me, the American dream began in a room like this. My family didn’t have much money, but education made everything possible.

I’m Barack Obama, and I want kids all across North Carolina to have that chance. As president, I’ll expand early childhood education, recruit new teachers and pay them better.

But the truth is, government can’t do it all. As parents, we need to turn off the TV, read to our kids, give them that thirst to learn. I approve this message because it’s not just about their future, it’s about ours.
