00:00This is very inspiring to see future generations exemplifying freedom, democracy, and civic engagement.
00:09As a fellow writer, I know how challenging it can sometimes feel to express yourself,
00:14but as the next generation of leaders, your voices are vital and they should be heard.
00:22However, it's sometimes easy to forget that the root word of democracy, demos, means people.
00:32Not a few people, not some people, but all of the people.
00:39This event is truly special because the students here today prove that regardless of age or background or race or religion
00:48or any other thing that may be used to separate you from others,
00:53you can have a leading voice in shaping democracy.
00:58Democracy is not a thing that can just exist with no care.
01:05It's a living organism that needs to be constantly nurtured and cared for to continue to thrive and grow.
01:14That's right.
01:15So I hope that for the young people here tonight,
01:20this is just the beginning of your long and exciting journey in public service.
