President Barack Obama on Wednesday delivered the keynote address at the commencement ceremony for Worcester Technical High School graduates.'I hope you leave here today believing that if you can make it, any kid can make it,' said Obama. 'There is so much talent out there, and every single child should have the opportunity like you had.'I worry that your generation has grown up in a cynical time, in the aftermath of a great recession, in the aftermath of two wars... you're graduating at a time when you'll no longer be competing with people across town for good jobs, you'll be competing with people across the world... but we are going to win because of you, because we are Americans,' said Obama. 'Nobody can beat us. That's what you've shown at this school.'We're not only working to make college more affordable, we're working to make sure more students can pay off their loans after college,' Obama said.'A quality education should be something that every kid gets. That has got to be a priority for this country,' he added. 'There is no limit to what we can do together... you're gonna do big things,' Obama said. Last year, the school was selected as one of the Education Department's 286 national blue ribbon schools.
