I am so passionate about this because your communities need you. They need you to develop your potential and become who youâre meant to be. And that goes for every student in here who is thinking about dropping out, who is feeling discouraged. Your community needs you. And more than ever before, our world needs you, too.
26 And you donât need your First Lady to tell you that. All you have to do is tune in to the news and youâll see that right now, some of the loudest voices in our national conversation are saying things that go against every single one of the values that youâve been living at this school. Theyâre telling us that we should disrespect others because of who they are or where they come from or how they worship. Theyâre telling us that we should be selfishâthat folks who are struggling donât deserve our help, that we should just take what we can from life and not worry about anyone else. And theyâre saying that itâs okay to keep harming our planet and using our land, our air, our water however we wish.
27 But, graduates, you all know that those are not the values that shape good citizens. Those are not the values that build strong families and communities and nations. You know this. So we desperately need your voices and your values in this conversation reminding us that weâre all connected, weâre all obligated to treat one another with respect, to act with integrity, to give back to those in need.
28 Now, I know that perhaps Iâm asking a lot of all of you. And I know that sometimes all those obligations might feel like a heavy burden. I also know that many of you have already faced and overcome challenges in your lives that most young people canât even begin to imagineâchallenges that have tested your courage, your confidence, your faith, and your trust.
29 But, graduates, those struggles should never be a source of shameâneverâand they are certainly not a sign of weakness. Just the opposite. Those struggles are the source of your greatest strengths. Because by facing adversity head on and getting through it, you have gained wisdom and maturity beyond your years. Iâve seen it in you. Youâve developed resilience that will sustain you throughout your lives. Youâve deepened a well of compassion within yourselves that will help you connect with and give back to others who struggle.
