(myFOXDetroit.com Staff Reports) - Either he was extremely tired or President Obama is one boring fellow.

A student seemed to nod off during Obama's commencement speech to graduates at Kalamazoo Central High School Monday night. The student could be seen with his eyes closed just behind the president. At one point, he woke to clap along with the rest of the audience.

Obama's speech was the prize in the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge . He told students, along with 5,000 other people packed into the basketball arena at Western Michigan University, to work hard and think of others.

Following the speech, Obama handed out diplomas and a few hugs to the 280 graduates of the school.
