Inspiring Words for Soon-to-Be-Graduates

My brother Jeri and I had a rare chat over YM this afternoon (midnight in Manila). Like many other seniors, he's living out hell week (or hell month) like a zombie on caffeine.

So, this video is my good luck to Jeri, Cha, and all my former students who face their final set of exams, essays, and orals this fateful week of February.

Taken from one of the most ambitious and heart-tugging (not to mention sadly short-lived) TV series ever, Jack & Bobby (The WB), here Prof Grace McAllister addresses students at the beginning of their schoolyear. And she talks about fear and failure, taking chances, and embracing new beginnings. I'd say it's the type of speech that will keep you going, whatever you're doing, wherever you may be in life.



Once again, this simply demonstrates that 'death and life are in the power of the tongue'.
