Despite the gravity of these times, we want to send you off with a feeling of weightlessness and a desire to reach beyond the stars you can see.
You have proven yourselves to be more than just dreamers. You are workers. You are doers. You are bound to succeed if you hold onto your resolve and keep pursuing what you love. Your presence in this world will improve it.
Don’t let your education end here. You are graduating into a higher form of learning. Wherever you go and whatever you do, let life continue to teach you. Keep studying the world around you. Make contacts with others who share your passion, whether in your field or in other realms. Don’t be too proud to learn something new from every experience.
I know you have masks to make and shows to binge-watch, so I won’t keep you long, but I want you to remember that graduating from college means you have set an accomplished a goal. Set and accomplish many more. Never stop being the best you that you can be.
And, in conclusion, remember that when celebrating promotions and other major life events, burning couches is frowned upon.
My prompt encouraged me to write a keynote speech for graduates of my college.
I figured it couldn't hurt.
And that wisdom dictate that I keep it short unless I wanted to bore my audience.
Keep learning, my friends.
