It’s that time of year when everyone likes to give advice about the future—your future!
Yes, it’s close to graduation time!
Graduation speeches
Colleges and universities enjoy speeches from such luminaries as actor Denzel Washington, poet Billy Collins, documentary producer Ken Burns, actor Matthew McConaughey, Bill Nye (the Science Guy), and former President Obama during commencement.
Here’s a quote from actress Sandra Bullock at the Warren Easton Charter School’s graduation in New Orleans:
