I NEED A HELP!!!!!

Read this excerpt from President Barack Obama's Back to School speech:And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could've stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.

What is the main idea of this excerpt?

A. The speaker understands that many students wish they did not have to work so hard.
B. Students who wish they could sleep late should be grateful they do not have to get up even earlier.
C. People who gain experience overseas have a greater chance at success.
D. Most people, even adults, get less sleep than their body needs to maintain good health.

Barack Obama was the 44th President of the United States, between 2009 and 2017. The excerpt belongs to the Back to School speech delivered in 2009.

In the excerpt, Obama uses pathos, a rhetorical device very used to persuade and based on emotions of pity or sympathy, as in this case. The speaker uses his own experience to create a bond between him and the objects of the speech to show them that he understands how difficult it is for students to work hard.
