What You'll Wish You'd Known Response

What You'll Wish You'd Known

     In the article, What You'll Wish You'd Known, I read about how the average graduation speech about "never giving up" and "following your dreams"...is all misleading and wrong. I definitely agree with this speech because things are always different in high school than they are in the real world. When we are in high school, we are still fairly new to the world, and learning exactly where our place is. If we follow the dreams that we have while we don't really know ourselves, we're bound to end up somewhere later on that we don't want to be. However, if we do what the article tells us to do and just keep pushing on, believing that we're gonna make it, then we're more fit to get somewhere good. I can see how this speech was denied for graduation, however. At this time in our lives, we've all figured out that the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and even the Easter bunny are all- yes- fake. But we still believe in some kind of magic. A magic of hope, dreams, and never giving up. We're still children, in this sense. But if we hold on to something forever, we're bound to have so many corpses of dreams that it could potentially lead down a path to self destruction. So basically, we must go with the flow and keep fighting!
