as we pass the torch of understanding and opportunity to our youth , may we pass it with optimism , encouragement and love so that when the times come ( and they will come ) when they fail in their sincere attempts to do good , they will remember the encouragement of a father or mother , a grandparent , brother , sister , aunt , uncle , teacher or good friend that moves them to not give up but to keep striving to achieve that which they feel is right in their young hearts .
