Millennials are the future. Millennials are older than 20 and younger than age 30. We are the future CEO’s, business leaders, and presidents of the United States. Millennials are going to rule the world one day.

During the 2015 UN General Assembly, President Obama urged leaders to invest in the millennials saying, “I have met young people on every continent, and they can lead the way if we give them the tools they need.”

Truer words have never been spoken. Millennials will soon have the power to make a change and make a difference in the world. All we need are the tools and to be pushed in the right direction. There is no limit to what millennials are capable of doing.

President Obama believes that the people are the greatest asset the United States has. Millennials are the creative and innovative entities that will continue to make America great.

“Let’s invest in innovative entrepreneurs, the striving young people who embrace new technology and are starting businesses and can ignite new industries that change the world,” said President Obama.

Embracing millennials will only enhance our unity as a country. Every generation has a younger generation after it.

During last year’s UN General Assembly, President Obama said, “Around the world, young people are moving forward, hungry for a better world.  Around the world, in small places, they’re overcoming hatred and bigotry and sectarianism.  And they’re learning to respect each other, despite differences.”

President Obama is correct when he describes young people as being the future. This generation will be the leaders in everything and the only way we will be able to succeed is if we have help from the preceding generations.

It is important for past generations to help the future generations, because we are stronger as a nation when we work together.
