During the 2016 APEC summit, U.S. President Barack Obama visited Peru for the first time. Hundreds of young people, guests, and participants in the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative program gathered at the sports complex of the Catholic University of Peru to see one of the world's most important and popular leaders in person. "You are doing so much that I don't know if I can give you the perfect advice, but I'll tell you what I tell the young people who work at the White House: you must find something that truly matters to you, be direct in your goals, and help those most in need to build a better society together. Focus more on what you want to do than what you want to be," Obama stated. The event lasted an hour and a half. Everyone, attentive with their cell phones in hand and taking selfies every minute, hung on Obama's every word. This was his last trip to South America as President of the United States. Months later, Donald Trump would become the next U.S. president. Today, Barack Obama continues to give advice to thousands of young people in the United States, as well as around the world.
