Blabberings Of A Taciturn

Ah, the month of March, a month of graduation. It marks the end of a chapter in our school life, be it in elementary, secondary or college. You can see a lot of graduates dressed in their togas, eagerly anticipating the end of commencement exercises. This activity officially marks the end of their school life and the start of another or their new journey in the real world.

Newly college grads are now face with the reality of finding a job. No more free allowances from our parents, grandparents and godparents. This signifies that we are now tasked to stand up on our own two feet.

To the graduates of 2010, I welcome you to the real world. Prepare your resumes and CV's; Draft your interview speeches; And prepare your handkerchiefs as you venture and enduringly stand in line with other applicants and eagerly wanting to impress the employer as much as the next guy.

Learning does not end within the four corners of the classroom. As you start your career outside the school, you'll continue to learn, find friends and enemies, deal with people and yourself. So, good luck graduates and press on with your ambitions.

Congratulations and Good Luck!
