We are more than robotic bookshelves, conditioned to blurt out facts we were taught in school […] aren’t we all deserving of something better, of using our minds for innovation, rather than memorization, for creativity, rather than futile activity, for rumination rather than stagnation?

We are not here to get a degree, to then get a job, so we can consume industry-approved placation after placation.

There is more, and more still.

A wonderfully insightful speech delivered by high school graduate Erica Goldson during her graduation ceremony on June 25, 2010.
