Obama said that different countries should learn from each other to make cultures diverse around the world.He said the US has a very diverse culture and talked about his family as an example, saying it is like “the United Nations”. His father was from Kenya, and his mother was from Kansas, US, while his younger sister is a half-Indonesian married to “a Chinese person from Canada”.For issues(议题) young people cared about most, such as education and success, Obama also shared his thoughts and advice.

All those things are important, but the people who really make their mark on the world have a bigger ambition(抱负). They say, how can I help feed hungry people?
