In a virtual commencement address, former President Barack Obama tells graduating seniors to "set the world on a different path" while being "alive to one another's struggles," as they navigate through the coronavirus pandemic. He says these times have "woken a lot of young people up to the fact that the old ways of doing things just don't work. That it doesn't matter how much money you make, when everyone around you is hungry or sick. He talks about how our society and democracy work, not just when we think about ourselves, but also when we think about each other. "If the world's going to get better, it's going to be up to you. That realization may be kind of intimidating, but I hope it's also inspiring. With all the challenges this country faces right now, nobody can tell you 'no, you're too young to understand' or 'this is how it's always been done.' Because, with so much uncertainty -- with everything suddenly up for grabs -- this is your generation's world to shape."
