"Things will get better, and more than that, with time, you'll see that your differences are a source of pride and strength. You'll look back on the struggles you faced with compassion and wisdom, and that's not just going to serve you, it will help you get involved and make this world a better place." (President Barack Obama - October 21, 2010)
