A quick read, based on her speech, given to a leaving senior class. ( ) This was a short audio, an extension of the author's commencement speech at her alma mater, Sara Lawrence College. She revisits her arrival on campus, her struggle to figure out "What now?" after graduation, and reiterates that the finding is part of the journey, whether that be right away or several years down the road. It's a quick but satisfying read. A nice, thoughtful, relatable, and interesting (and inspiring) commencement speech by Ann Patchett to the class of Sarah Lawrence. Its a super quick read (basically because all it is, is a 15-20 minute speech plus a little post-script). Worth the quick read, many will find it enlightening, or at least interesting. Good for college age people as their entering the "real world". no reviews | add a review
Based on her lauded commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College, this stirring essay by bestselling author Ann Patchett offers hope and inspiration for anyone at a crossroads, whether graduating, changing careers, or transitioning from one life stage to another. With wit and candor, Patchett tells her own story of attending college, graduating, and struggling with the inevitable question, What now? From student to line cook to teacher to waitress and eventually to award-winning author, Patchett's own life has taken many twists and turns that make her exploration genuine and resonant. As Patchett writes, "'What now?' represents our excitement and our future, the very vitality of life." She highlights the possibilities the unknown offers and reminds us that there is as much joy in the journey as there is in reaching the destination. No library descriptions found. |
