Timeless Lifetime Advice from 2016 Commencement Speakers
I arrived home to California yesterday from St. Louis, Missouri, after attending my boy’s graduation from Washington University in chemical engineering. (Woot Woot!)
Included in graduating from college (in addition to twelfth grade), my boy along with other students are bombarded with life advice.
For college graduates, the concept is that you are actually moving from the structured, sheltered world of academia and to the ‘real world.’
Universites and colleges recruit notable and frequently famous speakers at the commencement ceremonies to share with you their advice and insights.
It took me personally a couple of minutes to identify the speaker inside my boy’s commencement, an iconic civil rights activist called John Lewis.
Frequently, these kinds of speeches go in one ear and out for me personally.
But in 2010, Lewis’ message and many other people round the country this past weekend have made me think about my personal course, even during the ripe chronilogical age of 55!
Regardless if you are closing in on your own twelfth grade graduation, or are fresh out of college like my boy, or somebody like myself having already followed an extended and winding profession course, I thought you may enjoy in order to find motivation from the speakers.
Congressman Lewis, who’s among the last surviving Civil Rights champions from the ’60s and days of Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered a famous message throughout the historic March on Washington (D.C.) in 1963.
