On Ups and Downs
I was thinking about all the graduating students today and it occured to me how quickly we go from being on top to being on the bottom.
See, graduation is the pinacle of academics. A Senior on graduation day is at the height of their achievement. The next day, however, they're at the bottom of the working world. No experience, little pratical skills, and competing with hundreds of new grads for entry level jobs.
I don't bring up this point to be negative, quite the contrary. It's this fact that pushes us to achieve. Being knocked from the top to the bottom constantly gives us a taste of what it is to be the best and motivates us to work hard to do it again. It's a wonderful thing, and its what keeps this country great.
Congratulations to all of the grads this year, from kindergarten on up. It's a bright future ahead, take advantage of every possible opportunity and don't be discouraged by the low points, they're what makes the high points so worth it.
