Universities usually look at grade 11 and 12 marks, but mostly 12 (unless you’re looking for a scholarship, then it will be your grade 11 marks, usually with a condition that you must maintain an average grade in grade 12). But if you work super hard in your last year you can still go to a good school. The problem is if they’re deciding between you and another student and the student has better marks in their earlier years aswell.
You also have to remember back then it was easier to get into college. Less requirements and effort. You probably only had to take three APs and join a club to get into a good university. You can ask older people
He didn’t take highschool* seriously. He just have changed at some point his Junior/senior year because he went to Occidental. After Occidental he finished his degree at Colombia and then went to Harvard Law. Bottom line is he’s saying he started bad but finished strong
“Lots of people say I was the best at getting high. I was the highest president, apart from maybe Abe Lincoln. My high was beautiful, it was a beautiful high”.
Such, a great high, an extreme high, possibly even the highest high. Great high, great, great high. Some say I was good, possibly even the greatest of all time. I think I’m better at getting high than Obama.
This speech is about one's faith in oneself's abilities, possibilities and overcoming obstacles. CNN surmises that the title should be "Obama: I used to get high".

@J unk All the presidents have to be fine with aggressive foreign policy and "collateral damage" The oil companies, arms manufacturers, secret services, and other power people have their interests that the president must serve. Lest they end up like JFK. Each present is a monster with a different mask.
This was actually so fucking good. It wasn’t some sob story about how hard he had it or whatever, he told it as is, it was hard but not as hard as how these kids might have it. He didn’t make this about him, hut used his own experience as an example of what he sees. THIS is how you lead, not make everyone feel sad for you, or force your power, you tell them that their bad experience is something they can recover from if they really put the effort into it, and if they can’t, then there will be people there to help you.
You don't have to label yourself a republican, you're just a well informed and likely compassionate human being. We're all Americans. The point of voting is to choose a leader who helps ALL of us, and people who are smart understand that. Left, right, blue, red, green, yellow, who cares. You have integrity and that's not something that can be said for everyone on either side. Vote for who will be a good leader, not your favorite color.

Inail Aislin hey dumb ass, the majority of american people know they are being manipulated and we know what other countries think of us because of main stream media. Also every country uses propaganda to say they are the greatest nation on earth. it doesn't lead honest people into throwing their life away. it leads honest people into just going with the flow of things trying to make a living, and become successful within the machine instead of going against the flow and being crushed like a moron. no one defends shit besides the place and way that they live. so why dont you follow your own hash tag and think for your self instead of being a moron thinking that what you just said is original and shocking and a radical crazy new way of thinking to others.so if you are so awake and individual and you think for your self, they why dont you rise up and change the system? because you are too fucking stupid and you think you are more original and smarter and more awake than everyone else and you are being manipulated even more by the system than everyone else. thats why. and if you dont think so then look at almost everything on the internet. it says be original and be individual and go against the flow and do/say exactly what you are doing/saying right now and blah blah blah. and your just another fucking clone. fucking moron. why dont you grow a set and actually do something different that what they expect you to do? oh wait ill answer that for you. because you are to fucking stupid to understand that you can do more damage from within than you can from standing outside knocking on the door. idiot......ok im done. i got my frustration out.
As opposed to the times when his drone strikes killed black and brown children thousands of miles away or when his administration deported millions of migrants, leaving hundreds of thousands of children separated? Shows how immoral and evil you truly are.
It's not people of color, its people without the appropriate home conditions, parents, regardless of class, ethnicity, race, nationality, etc. I'm speaking from experience. This man is easily one of the best three presidents that the US has ever had
wow you’re so right, obama’s charismatic attitude brings us so much hope. I wonder what the innocent children in Afghanistan feel about his “charismatic” attitude when they had to bury their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters because there house got destroyed by a drone strike.
just to make it clear, i don’t support trump at all, i believe he has led to the second biggest division of the united states only to the civil war. I don’t agree with almost everything he does, but i will not just blindly say Obama was a great president, or that he gave me hope just because Trump isn’t any better.
@@BlakeLovesPoland "Even though you are a war criminal, you are charismatic and funny and good at public-speaking, and that means you are an amazing president".
I can not understand for a president I only voted for once and did not really like I really really am going to miss him. I think he is by far the most charismatic president I've ever witnessed. Going from Bush who by far was the most embarrassing president to him was such a huge contrast
@@BlakeLovesPoland There have been more drone attacks under Trumps four years than there were under Obama’s 8. Not only that but Trump removed a policy that Obama created that required a public report of drone deaths to be made. Obama had his faults no doubt about it, but trump is one of the worst presidents policy and culturally wise that we have seen in a long time
@@cole1493 I agree that Trump is an awful president, but just because Trump is bad doesn’t excuse Obama’s actions. I spoke on Obama’s drone usage because it is a video of obama, and the comment was about Obama. I completely agree with you about trump.
Andy Fam just saying trump hasn’t done shiz he said he would either, it’s been 1 year and all he did was he managed to shutdown the government WHILE HE HAD MAJORITY. Yup he is clearly a great president. Oh are you in the middle class, pay more taxes for the rich don’t want to pay taxes.
I recognize myself in this speech. I almost dropped out from school several times. Some teachers even thought I was dumb. But I had the chance to have a wonderful mother who always believed in me and took importance decisions for me. It didn't prevent me from doing mistakes but it prevent these mistakes from ruining my life. I may not be president but I know my future is bright and this makes me very happy.
Ricky Rhoades One could stop talking like Gollum or a Jedi if one wants to communicate one's views in one way effectively... ... one. I was joking about the getting high bit and I don't condemn a fat blunt once in a while haha.
Vinnie Huish he pulled us out of the housing recession. Put financial regulation in place to prevent or to at least attempt to prevent it from happening again. He got millions of people health care. Pushing for healthier school meals. To be fair it is hard to mass produce healthy foods, but I do appreciate their efforts. School food actually tasted better in my district after the reform. (this may not be the case in every district. Appointed 2 Supreme Court Justices, he began the removal of troops from Iraq. His administration pushed the TPP. This had good and bad properties. Overall he was a decent president. Not perfect but had good intentions.
Botside Scuttle Being the president doesn't have to do with how he plays with your feelings or his character. It's about their views and what they're going to do with our country, I do admit that character does play a role in choosing who to vote for but it shouldn't be the deciding factor.
Having a leader who is willing to talk about things like this, and admit his own faults and mistakes shows a lot about said leaders character. Respect.
Dude was one of the most down to earth presidents when it came to upbringing. Lower-middle class, troubled teenager, had his issues but he managed to bag a presidency.
@Oreos It ain't about being a smooth talker. It's about seeing the world and life from a varied wide perspective. Obama has a sense of empathy mixed with intelligence and rational decision making. Basically, the opposite of the Donald.

@@beaudanonstork8855 Actually weed can totally harm you, psychological addiction is no joke, I see plenty of stoners doing jack shit cause they get high all the time.
Noah Patrick weed isn’t chemically addictive you can quit any time you want lol. It’s all a matter of will power if you can’t smoke weed and succeed then you’re just weak. Not tryna be rude or anything, but so many people I know have 4.0 GPAs in college and smoke weed every single day.
Oh man I miss this guy :) Even if you disagree with his political leanings, is is lovely to hear him speak 😌
And why is this randomly being recommended to us all now, 8 years on 🤔🤔🤔
I guarantee you Trump could say the same thing and they're would be a different result
Master Of Disguise People are scared that if they hate on the black president then they will be called out for being racist. That’s literally the only reason Obama won.
I think it would be because they carry themselves differently not because of skin color
Master Of Disguise trump would never use such a diverse selection of words
No...If Trump could articulate his thoughts better like Obama did than sure. Ans besides hes admitted to worse things than smoking pot lmfao
Master Of Disguise nah people just like Obama....Trump can never relate in any dimensions so the statement itself is pretty broad.
As a foreigner I believe that this man has made the world like the U.S. a little bit more.
yeah man.... US people dont even realise our manipulated they are and what people think about them cause they are taught to belive US is the greatest nation on earth blablabla... governament propaganda bs.. wich leads to honest people throwing theyr lives through the window defending a myth... #THINKFORURSELF
Inail Aislin hey dumb ass, the majority of american people know they are being manipulated and we know what other countries think of us because of main stream media. Also every country uses propaganda to say they are the greatest nation on earth. it doesn't lead honest people into throwing their life away. it leads honest people into just going with the flow of things trying to make a living, and become successful within the machine instead of going against the flow and being crushed like a moron. no one defends shit besides the place and way that they live. so why dont you follow your own hash tag and think for your self instead of being a moron thinking that what you just said is original and shocking and a radical crazy new way of thinking to others.so if you are so awake and individual and you think for your self, they why dont you rise up and change the system? because you are too fucking stupid and you think you are more original and smarter and more awake than everyone else and you are being manipulated even more by the system than everyone else. thats why. and if you dont think so then look at almost everything on the internet. it says be original and be individual and go against the flow and do/say exactly what you are doing/saying right now and blah blah blah. and your just another fucking clone. fucking moron. why dont you grow a set and actually do something different that what they expect you to do? oh wait ill answer that for you. because you are to fucking stupid to understand that you can do more damage from within than you can from standing outside knocking on the door. idiot......ok im done. i got my frustration out.
Inail Aislin p.s. my bad. i forgot to mention that you are just playing into the manipulation even more by using your little #hashtag fucking moron.
well it wasnt your comment so no i dont think this is anything positive for you here.
foreign leaders didn't like obama lol
Even if he didn’t lead or align with certain ideals, I can confidently say we need leadership as human as this again.
I cry every time I hear this guy actually saying things of value. For all people
Obama baby ua-cam.com/video/k8Na2uKKmx4/v-deo.html
As opposed to the times when his drone strikes killed black and brown children thousands of miles away or when his administration deported millions of migrants, leaving hundreds of thousands of children separated? Shows how immoral and evil you truly are.
It's not people of color, its people without the appropriate home conditions, parents, regardless of class, ethnicity, race, nationality, etc. I'm speaking from experience. This man is easily one of the best three presidents that the US has ever had
*BEST 3* ?
Who tf are the other 2? 😂
M.E. Peña Liekens lmfao not even close. Sure he's brilliant but that's on a completely different level
Unfortunately you can't turn a blind eye to ethnicity, and skin color.
@@Stay_LA why do u feel that way?
obama is so charismatic, his speeches bring me more hope than trump‘s entire presidency ever will
No
@@osamabinladen824 what are you gonna do about it from the bottom of the ocean
wow you’re so right, obama’s charismatic attitude brings us so much hope. I wonder what the innocent children in Afghanistan feel about his “charismatic” attitude when they had to bury their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters because there house got destroyed by a drone strike.
just to make it clear, i don’t support trump at all, i believe he has led to the second biggest division of the united states only to the civil war. I don’t agree with almost everything he does, but i will not just blindly say Obama was a great president, or that he gave me hope just because Trump isn’t any better.
@@BlakeLovesPoland
"Even though you are a war criminal, you are charismatic and funny and good at public-speaking, and that means you are an amazing president".
My mom (graduated '85) went to Punahou with obama. My aunt was in the same class year as him
No matter how you looked at his time in office Obama was a people’s president and I will always respect that from him.
'Bama be popin blunts in da oval office,real OG
For real
DeepInYourLady i am sure he does.when he fell like it :D

I can not understand for a president I only voted for once and did not really like I really really am going to miss him. I think he is by far the most charismatic president I've ever witnessed. Going from Bush who by far was the most embarrassing president to him was such a huge contrast
Could not said it better, Bush fcked up this country.
I dont care for conspiracy theory sorry.
best conspiracy is bush did 911
***** bush 8 years obama 8 years
***** i dont think you have any idea what your talking about
A president who truley cared for the people and not afraid to make himself vulnerable
Yeah especially that father and son he drone bombed.
what about the families that he helped destroy by mindlessly drone bombing the middle east for 7 years
@@BlakeLovesPoland There have been more drone attacks under Trumps four years than there were under Obama’s 8. Not only that but Trump removed a policy that Obama created that required a public report of drone deaths to be made. Obama had his faults no doubt about it, but trump is one of the worst presidents policy and culturally wise that we have seen in a long time
@@cole1493 I agree that Trump is an awful president, but just because Trump is bad doesn’t excuse Obama’s actions.
I spoke on Obama’s drone usage because it is a video of obama, and the comment was about Obama. I completely agree with you about trump.
To be able to even admit that being in his position!!! What an amazing human being.
Barry blowing big blunts" Imma run this whole shxt one day" lmfao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
could you imagine Trump being self deprecating in an honest way like this? Hell no
Christian Zook umm thats why he won the election. cuz obama didn't do shit he said he was gunna do
Andy Fam just saying trump hasn’t done shiz he said he would either, it’s been 1 year and all he did was he managed to shutdown the government WHILE HE HAD MAJORITY. Yup he is clearly a great president. Oh are you in the middle class, pay more taxes for the rich don’t want to pay taxes.
yeah like he hasnt helped jobs at all..
@@zuroxtv2199 you realize Trump has down an outstanding job so far as president
Matt wheeler do you realize how full of shit you are? You clearly havent been paying attention.
I recognize myself in this speech. I almost dropped out from school several times. Some teachers even thought I was dumb. But I had the chance to have a wonderful mother who always believed in me and took importance decisions for me. It didn't prevent me from doing mistakes but it prevent these mistakes from ruining my life. I may not be president but I know my future is bright and this makes me very happy.
this man was really the president lol like it's rlly just clicking in my head as I watch this
Like him or not our current or last president could never dream of giving a well spoken charismatic speech like Obama could.

naw that shit’s genetic
he is too much of a □ to get high. he's just very very mentally ill.
Trump is high on meth
I pray God blesses you even more than what He already has President Obama. Excellent testimony. God bless you
That reminds of the movie "Limitless"
People get high when they are in a great deal of pain emotionally and spiritually. Those are the people your prosecuting..

***** I know, but he wasn't talking like yoda.
A politician and a leader that I have no doubt history will honor him
Nick85greek whys he to be honored? His skin color? Our NEW president has already saved us more money than he ever did. Look it up 💯
Vinnie Huish on fox News?
Vinnie Huish he pulled us out of the housing recession. Put financial regulation in place to prevent or to at least attempt to prevent it from happening again. He got millions of people health care. Pushing for healthier school meals. To be fair it is hard to mass produce healthy foods, but I do appreciate their efforts. School food actually tasted better in my district after the reform. (this may not be the case in every district. Appointed 2 Supreme Court Justices, he began the removal of troops from Iraq. His administration pushed the TPP. This had good and bad properties. Overall he was a decent president. Not perfect but had good intentions.
Jay C I understand that. That's why I said "good and bad properties".
Nick85greek LOL YOU’RE FUNNY
I miss this guy but also I’m glad he doesn’t have to deal with the stress now
God bless you all and your families 🙏🏽✝️🛐🛐
How could Donald Trump ever compete with this amazing person...
Botside Scuttle Being the president doesn't have to do with how he plays with your feelings or his character. It's about their views and what they're going to do with our country, I do admit that character does play a role in choosing who to vote for but it shouldn't be the deciding factor.
Because you judge a president on what they do in office, not their god damn speeches. You libtards are too superficial to cast intelligent votes.
KiloByte So, long as they promise shit that they'll never do, it's okay?
+fake name That's exactly the opposite of what I just said.
KiloByte And what exactly has Donald Trump done during his presidency
Having a leader who is willing to talk about things like this, and admit his own faults and mistakes shows a lot about said leaders character. Respect.
Dude was one of the most down to earth presidents when it came to upbringing. Lower-middle class, troubled teenager, had his issues but he managed to bag a presidency.
This is a far better president than Donald trump
Remember, these are just words. He is a hell of a speaker but his actions don’t support what he says.
He isn’t a better president
How so?
He is a better president, and Biden will fill his shoes #Biden2020 :)
Admiral LM I’m with you on that one
Obama has a good heart.

BUNCHofxs you just like him coz he got high lol
+BUNCHofxs If by people you mean Republicans, than "duh"
@Oreos
It ain't about being a smooth talker. It's about seeing the world and life from a varied wide perspective. Obama has a sense of empathy mixed with intelligence and rational decision making. Basically, the opposite of the Donald.
***** Nice, only name calling but no arguments. My comment had a point and a good one. Actions are stronger than words
actions are indeed stronger than words! so how 'bout "The Donald" eh? i bet you've no qualms with his actions, right?!
