There are several famous graduation speeches by several famous people. Thanks to Chris Guillebeau, I came across a famous graduation essay by Marina Keegan, who graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012, and five days later, died in a car crash.

We don't have a word for the opposite of loneliness, but if we did, I'd say that's how I feel at Yale. How I feel right now. Here. With all of you. In love, impressed, humbled, scared. And we don't have to lose that.

We're in this together, 2012. Let's make something happen to this world.
