What I Want for You and Every Child in America

Dear Malia and Sasha,

　 I know that you've both had a lot of 1 these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have．But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy（小狗）, it doesn't 2 for all the time we've been apart．I know 3 I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey．

　 When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me, about how I'd 4　 my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want．But then the two of you came into my 5 with all your curiosity and mischief （捣乱） and those smiles that never 6 to fill my heart and light up my day．

　 I want all our children to go to schools 7 　of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill （灌输） in them a sense of 8 　about the world around them．I want them to have the chance to go to college 9 their parents aren't rich．And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own 10 and retire with dignity．

　 I want us to 11　 the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer．And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach 　12 the divides of race and region, gender and religion that 13 us from seeing the best in each other．

　 That was the 14　 your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for 15 because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean 16 ．

　 She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better and that the 17 work of perfecting our union falls to each of us．It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to 18 we know America should be．

　 These are the things I want for you, to 19 in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach．And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive （茁壮成长） that you girls have．That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure．

　 I am so proud of both of you．I love you 20 you can ever know．And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise （自信）, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House．

　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Love, Dad

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 　36 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 　37 air．

Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 　38 　thing to do．But then she took it a step 　39 ．“Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物）and 　40 him in front of the open door．“Touch．” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a 　41 position．She 42　 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became 　43 ．Over the last few days I have been with Kolby．Each time he comes in I bring him back to the 　44 door and ask him to close．There have been 　45 in the beginning, but lately more and more successes．

However, there remains much work to be done．I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 46 he will close the door from a distance．But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the 　47 will be completed, and, with the way things are　 48　 , completed quickly．

What a 49　 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby．

A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 ．Once you 　52 the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of 53 ．Once you want to accomplish a goal, and 54 that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy” to do what needs to be done．Just 　55 doing it．
