【题目】【原创】Noah McQueen is part of "My Brother's Keeper," a White House program aimed at young men of color.

His teen years have been rough, and include several arrests and a short period of being in prison. But last week, he was at the White House talking with President Obama.

"Growing up, I didn't have a stable household. I attended eight schools in three years," McQueen says.

McQueen adds his dad lives down the street from him, but he doesn't really have a relationship with him.

"That's one of the things we have in common," Obama says. "As I get older, I start reflecting on how that affected me. How do you think that affected you?"

"I think I learn right and wrong on my own terms." McQueen says.

"Obviously you've straightened yourself out and become successful as a black man. " Obama says. " But did you feel pressure to look back on the way you once acted?"

"Definitely, there's always pressure." McQueen says, " People will say, 'You are the success story,' but it's hard to always make the right decision and always be the leader."

"You shouldn't feel like you can't make mistakes.” Obama says. You've discovered this strength inside yourself. If you stay true to that voice that clearly knows what's right and what's wrong, sometimes you're going to mess up, but you can steer back and keep going."

About his future plan, McQueen says" I want to do education because I want to work with kids," "You know, to see the beginnings, and to see where I was, to see the exact same kid doing the exact same thing. And it's like, we owe it to everyone and ourselves to come back and change that. That's like our duty.

"Yeah, and Noah, I just want to say how proud I am of you, man," Obama says. "It's not an easy thing to do what you've done. And I think you give others a lot of confidence and a sense of what's possible for them. And that makes me real proud. I know you're going to do great things."
