Prompt: Commencement Advice

Originally, I was going to post about the whole commencement speaker controversy that has taken over the campus (and especially many members of the senior class) during the past week or so. But after the countless articles, editorials, and rallies I think everything that could be said about why Jamie Dimon is or isn't a bad choice to speak has pretty much been said.

After thinking about my own commencement speaker desires, I got to thinking about what it is I would tell the class of 2010 as we prepare to step out into the "real world". Unlike last week, I'm not going to go into huge detail with this post about my response and will instead share that in a video post later on.

So for now, here's your prompt:

What would you say to your fellow graduates if you were speaking at Commencement?

Again, for your response I just ask that it be recorded in video format. You can either upload the video to youtube/vimeo and post it in a comment to this blog post, or send it to me in email at jocember @ gmail (dot) com. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask!
