If Only Every Homework Assignment Had Prizes Like This...

As a new school year unfolds, here's an assignment for America's students from the U.S. Department of Education and YouTube: in two minutes or less, make a video showing the nation and the world how education will help you achieve your dreams, and upload it to the submission platform on the Department of Education's YouTube channel.

The good news is that there are no failing grades and the top three submissions, as voted by the YouTube community, will each be issued a $1,000 prize by the DOE. Learn more about the "I Am What I Learn" video contest from Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education:



The contest is open to U.S. middle, high school, college and post-grad students, ages 13 and up, and the deadline to submit is October 20. For complete rules and FAQs, please visit www.ed.gov/iamwhatilearn.

Actually, you just failed to see the point.
He's speaking to the fact that an education can aid you in helping America/Americans.

An interesting thing to say, granted.
It's never going to happen, it's too selfless for anyone to give a crap about.
You do fail though.

Um no they actually did fail and you are just a nitpicking retard. If you actually WATCHED the video you will see that they posed it correctly as "Why is your education important to your future?"

So yes the Department of Education did type pronouns wrong on their own site.

Sorry if you fail at spotting someone spotting an fail.

it's not a grammar fail because there's a colon.
