Answer:
Obama claimed that like the students,
1. He had to wake at the very early hours of the morning to take lessons from his mother.
2. He suffered challenges that would have limited him, such as being raised by a single mom who was not really financially buoyant.
Explanation:
In his speech at Wakefield High School, Virginia, USA, which students from other schools tied in to, President Obama encouraged the students to work hard at their studies. He noted that most of the students would rather prefer being on their beds during summer, than having to put in the extra efforts to come to school. This was an experience he had when he was younger and had to wake as early as 4:30 a.m to get some extra lessons from his mother who could not afford to send him to American schools at that time.
Also, he agreed that like the students he had challenges that would have made him quit, such as, being raised by a single mom who struggled to take care of him when his father left the family at his early age of two. He therefore, urged the students to never let any challenges they faced, limit their growth.

Explanation:
It is clear that Wilde recognized the gender qualities of his day, and often tried to show these through the characters in his plays.
In "The Importance of Being Earnest" the interactions between the characters are often about power plays. Men in Wilde's day had greater influence than women. They made the important decisions for their families, while women worked at home, taking care of the children.
The respectable Miss Prism, a governess, clearly did not represent the norm in a society where men were admired for their intelligence and women for their beauty. As an unmarried woman in a society that centered on marriage, Miss Prism's role gave her identity and status where normally she would have had neither. But she was totally non-maternal, and horrified at the end when Jack called her "Mother." She harbored secret feelings for the parson, Dr Chasuble, but was too straight-laced to show them. The single male characters, on the other hand, had no qualms about flirting with the women they were attracted to.
Miss Prism is in some ways a comic character, but she does make a point for Wilde about the unfairness of the society of which they were a part.
