Summary: Chosen by a popular California high school English teacher, these essays, poems, jokes and smart sayings talk about the issues that graduates face. They begin by addressing moving on, learning to let go of the past while still treasuring it. They suggest we should treasure most the people who made the past--and the future--possible: teachers, family and friends. Then they focus on the meaning of success, broadening the definition to include spiritual, intellectual, emotional and psychological satisfaction. This leads to an examination of the deepest and most difficult question of all, what does life mean? These writers may not supply the answer, but they do offer advice on how to live life to the fullest. They stress the positive power of dreams and the need to follow them. Finally, they consider "vocation," a life’s work that combines what you do for a living with what you love about living.--From publisher description.
