To the Class of 2023

Instead of being the 99th person to tell you to “pursue your passion in life” today, I’d like to be the 1st person to suggest a few specific things. These are the things I wish someone would have told me when I graduated. So, I’m paying it forward to you, dear Class of 2023.

You Choose

“So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality… you can fail at what you don’t want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.” ~ Jim Carrey

For the Graduates...You Choose

All graduates will continue on a path of their choosing and change the world in their own way. That path may not resemble what they had imagined, but it is no less significant. Regardless of the obstacles that lie ahead, remember, you choose.
