The Obama Effect? 239

This is just one of those things you need to *see* to *believe.*

A recent study has found that the achieve­ment gap between white and African-American stu­dents sig­nif­i­cantly decreased imme­di­ately after Pres­i­dent Obama’s nom­i­na­tion accep­tance speech, and just after his elec­tion victory.

What this means is that Pres­i­dent Obama’s achieve­ments have directly influ­enced black chil­dren in Amer­ica to rise up and do bet­ter in the classroom.

The study was fea­tured in the New York Times, and you can see it for your­self here.

This is an incred­i­ble find­ing, and it just goes to show how pow­er­ful role mod­els can be in our lives.

    Burt Goldman My name is Burt Gold­man. I’m one of those “lucky peo­ple” who dis­cov­ered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been trav­el­ing the world and meet­ing and study­ing spir­i­tual mas­ters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I’m ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valu­able teach­ings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you’ll find plenty of valu­able infor­ma­tion on med­i­ta­tion, energy heal­ing, spir­i­tu­al­ity, and my lat­est rev­e­la­tion, Quan­tum Jump­ing. I look for­ward to con­nect­ing with you and I sin­cerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
