President Barack Obama has launched a new program to help African American and Latino boys with a personal speech during which he talked about the low points in his youth.
'I made bad choices. I got high, not always thinking about the harm it could do. I didn't always take school as seriously as I should have. I made excuses. Sometimes I sold myself short,' Obama said in the East Room of the White House on Thursday.
His comments about his teenage years came as he launched the program called 'My Brother's Keeper' which plans to strengthen efforts in creating more opportunities for young black and Latino men.
