Day Sixteen
A High-School valedictorian speech in ten sentences or less.
I’m not going to tell you some bullshit like You made it, because you haven’t yet. And don’t get your hopes up, either, because the odds are against you. But here’s a few things to keep in mind as you struggle.
Perspectives are important and experiences are even more, so try as many of both as you can.
You are not your family, not your school, not your past; you are your own beginning and your own end.
There is education without school and school without education. Avoid the latter and embrace the former.
Try to see what’s around you, before you get too fucking old and need glasses or someone young or a psychologist to point it out.
Most importantly.
Confront the truth, defect from the old, create the new.
