    Close to 200 school children at the Daughter of Zion Junior Academy school in Delray Beach, Florida, were ushered into their gymnasium for a surprise visit from President Obama.

    "I saw you guys waving on the street and I want to make sure that I say hi to you all.”

    When President Obama entered the gymnasium the students, ages pre-K through eighth grade, erupted in cheers of “Obama, Obama!” and “Four more years!” While spending time with some of his youngest supporters, the President shared a few words of wisdom:

    "Nothing is more important to our country right now than you guys working hard in school. So even if sometime things seem hard, even if you have to put in a little extra effort, I need you guys to make sure that you're doing your homework, listening to your teachers and listening to your parents. If you do that, you guys can be anything... You could be a lawyer, a doctor, an astronaut—or you could end up being the President of the United States.”

    President Obama stands for all of us and we need to stand with him -- commit to vote today.
