You know, your mom and me, we always try to treat you kids the same. Always have.
Hasn't always worked, because, well, you're not all the same. You're adopted, and we don't talk about that enough.'Cause to me, you are every part my son.
Maybe I.. I don't want you to feel like you stand out.
But I need you to know something.I want you to stand out.I want all of you to be as different as you can possibly be.In all the best ways.
I love you as much as a human heart can, kiddo.You are an exceptional young man.
So don't let your dad's poor choice make you feel afraid to be different.
Okay?

Your mother and I always try to treat you guys the same, always.
But it doesn't always work. You guys are different, you were adopted by us and we didn't really talk about it because to me, you're totally my son,
maybe...I don't want you to feel too prominent.
But you have to know one thing, I want you to excel, and I want each of you to be different, to be the best version of yourself.
I love you with all my heart, and boy you are an extraordinary young man.
Don't let your dad's humble thoughts stop you from expressing yourself,
okay?
