Read the passage from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address in 1961.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

Joan sat hunched over her sewing machine and chewed her lip thoughtfully. She had volunteered to make the costumes for the drama department’s production of Much Ado About Nothing, but she hadn’t realized how much work would be involved. In addition to sewing twenty costumes, she had to study for three tests and help her aunt clean the house before potential buyers arrived. Joan rubbed her temples and tried to calm down. What’s the worst that can happen? she asked herself. I fail all my tests, my aunt’s house never sells, and the entire drama club performs half-dressed, her sarcastic inner voice answered. Joan couldn’t help but laugh, and she lowered the presser foot on her sewing machine with renewed energy. "No matter what, I'm not going to give up," she said. Joan decided to take an optimistic approach and hope for the best.
