The School-to-Work Opportunities Act can help young people adapt to this changing world.

It is my hope that the success of this extraordinary gathering of young people will create a greater spirit of unity and community among them.

To think that this young girl at her age, to have that amount of courage to save a member of her family is really astonishing.

I commend the networks for this initial effort and encourage you to continue to find ways to make your programming suitable for the children and youth of this nation.

This administration is working hard to open the doors of college education to all young people.

Let everyone in this country remember those precious youngsters who wait.

Every youngster needs encouragement and discipline, as well as attention and affection.

And may I encourage every one of the kids from Anacostia and elsewhere with us out in this audience to get going in that school, do your best.

Everyone on the team participates in Stay-In-School assemblies.

Service can be a profound expression of their idealism that we so often associate with young people.

Let me put it in the words of someone who says it best, not a famous writer or singer, a 20-year-old from here who served in the Persian Gulf, Mike Averett, Jr.

We got to do something to stop mortgaging the future of these young people.

We must continue to find the means to educate and empower young people, new immigrants, women, minorities, and all who aspire to be entrepreneurs.

We must teach young Americans about the dangers of experimenting with drugs.

Today, with those young men and women in mind, let me just add one final note.

You've chosen to succeed by studying, obeying your elders, and having enough pride in yourselves just to say no to drugs.

If they want to send a kid to this facility, fine.

Nonviolence is effective among the young and not just the old.
