At the time I got a lot of emails telling me how outrageous my stance was, and how anyone, of any political persuasion, should be thrilled to have the President of the United States talk to their kids. Apparently, the thrill is gone when you actually have to do a little work to get the President. According to internal White House memos, the President's "Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge" -- in which schools compete for a chance to get the Prez as their graduation speaker -- had generated only 68 applications as of February 28, which was after the original application deadline of Feburary 25.

But I do remember looking up on the stage to see my best friend, the valedictorian of our class, sitting there among all the luminaries, and wondering how in the world she did that when English was her second language. It still blows me away. Commencement addresses contain wisdom and inspiration for all of life’s transitions, and for a manic-depressive, that’s pretty much every day. So I’ve plucked the very best sound bites from famous speakers like Oprah Winfrey, Desmond Tutu, Jon Stewart, and the other names people like to drop at cocktail parties to help us forge ahead on our spiritual journeys, remember our dreams, and to find hope, purpose, and peace in our lives. 1.

I am seconding Dr Vijay’s opinion that its Stanford that yields great commencement speeches. the other favourite all time was Steve Jobs’ address and the famous tag line “stay foolish, stay hungry” Full text of this inspiring speech of his personal life story and the story of Apple’s success can be found here.

We don’t have the facilities to hold the event on campus and it’s held some distance away down the Garden State Parkway. I’ve been teaching at my college for three years now and have gotten to know some students fairly well: So exciting to hear their names called for prizes and to get their degrees, to see them walk (some smiling from ear to ear, some thoughtful at the solemnity of the occasion, some waving wildly to family and friends) across the stage and shake the President’s hand. A alumnus from the class of 1958 gave the Commencement address and he talked about his grandfather who never grew taller than the podium after being hit by a cart in Jersey City, and became a journalist and editor; the spe...
