This boy gave a speech to his elementary school classmates on graduation day

it went

"As we leave here today I have a challenge for all of you. We are all different. Not less, just different. We all have things we're good at, things we need to work on, and things we need help with. Whenever you see someone else who is different, instead of just judging them or being a bully, I challenge you to offer help and treat that person with the kindness you have shown me over the last six years. Remember, all of you can make a difference in someone's life. You've already made a difference in mine. "

That was a great speech and I hope he continues to change the minds of many people in the years to come. :)
