Education

Relax, dude! You just finished college at Harvard. You worked so hard. Trust me, you're gonna kill it.

You are now fully prepared to begin living out your hopes and aspirations. And with all the immense challenges we face, the necessity for you to do so right away is more important than ever.

You leave this school as well-armed for battle as anyone is. Nobody really knows anything more than you do. Everyone is just making it up as they go along. Figure it out.

You will eventually use everything you've ever learned.

We have each other to lean on for encouragement. We have our beloved teachers to call on for advice. And we have our parents to count on to pick us up whenever we fall.

Never become so enamored of your own smarts that you stop signing up for life's hard classes. Keep your conclusions light and your curiosity ferocious. Keep groping in the darkness with ravenous desire.

Your degree will be good for something, just maybe not what you thought originally. If you're open to it, sometimes life presents you with what you're supposed to be.

A good education in the United States of America, one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations on this planet, remains a gift for some when it should be a right for all.

I believe that education is the civil rights issue of our generation, and we must strive to make equality in education a reality, not just a theory.

You have so much power, so much opportunity. Make sure this education, this amazing gift, doesn't go to waste.

Sign languages in schools for the deaf are not only options but they're the human right of deaf children and students, and it is on par with spoken languages.

The right to access language and language acquisition is a necessary prerequisite for exercising the right to human dignity, freedom of expression, and all other human rights.
