Your piece of paper not only says where you were educated, but who you were educated with. It declares that you are a member of a community of people to be relied upon, to take risks, provoke thought, and to be committed participants in this world.

A história por trás desta citação
Krasinski redefines what a diploma means. In the classroom, yes, you received one of the greatest educations possible. But the piece of paper also represents every facet of the experience beyond the classroom: the sketch comedy, the music recommendations, the mind-expanding conversations, leaping out of comfort zones and staying there. It represents who educated you — not just professors, but peers. And it makes a declaration about you to the world: that you belong to a community defined by intellectual courage and active citizenship. It's the piece of paper Krasinski says he lives his life by every single day.
