It’s that time of year again, when proms are happening and grad parties are being planned. A whole new group of young adults is about to leave the classes that they’ve become accustomed to over the last four years and either enter the workforce or move on to higher educational institutions. If I could pass on a bit of advice to those graduating seniors, what would it be?
According to ABC, a graduating student at a High School in Louisiana was told he wouldn't be able to take part in his graduation ceremony. The scholar athlete had a 4.0 GPA and was the class valedictorian. So why wasn't he able to walk? He had a beard.
My senior class could barely take the senior class picture...and it was still messed up. This senior class just blew me and probably everyone else out of the water with a performance at their graduation ceremony. Watch as Kahuku High School seniors in Hawaii (I once spent a week in their hospital) perform together as they say goodbye...
Peyton Manning, quarterback for the Denver Broncos, passed on strong advice to University of Virginia undergraduates at their valediction ceremony. He urged them to return ethics and values to vogue.
Imagine going to your child's high school graduation. You want to sit up close. I mean, nobody ever really wants to sit in the back or behind a bunch of other people. Sometimes, it's hard enough just to get everyone in your family a ticket to attend high school graduations in some school districts in Western New York.
Now, imagine paying 200 bucks a ticket.
Remember your graduation? You may have cried, you may have been emotional, but this high school in Detroit had a guest speaker that moved the entire crowd. Who was it?
High school graduation is a right of passage, although for one of the country artists featured in this list of singers wearing the cap and gown, it took a decade or two to walk across the stage.
Are you a recent grad or waiting to walk across the stage soon? If so, then a huge congrats to you! But here's the real question-- have you decorated that cap yet? Or even thought about it?
Ah yes...graduation! You've been waiting four years (maybe more in my case) to get out of college and into the real world to start your new job.
But first, you have to put together a resume. You've been taught to use resume "buzzwords" to make yourself sound better. However, if everyone overuses these words, they're not really buzzwords, are they?
The perfect scenario: Go to college, get a job right out of college, make good money and live a comfortable life. Sound good? Does to me! That's not always the case. Finding a job after college graduation is tough. There are very few people who luck out and fall into a nice position...especially in Buffalo! If you knew what major would ensure a job right out of college, would you major in
