How will you know what the right choice is

in these crucial moments?

You won't.

How do I give advice to this many people

about their life choices?

I won't.

The scary news is you're on your own now

but the cool news is, you're on your own now.

I leave you with this.

We are led by our gut instincts, our intuition,

our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams.

And you will screw it up sometimes, so will I.

And when I do,

you will most likely read about it on the internet.

Anyway, hard things will happen to us.

We will recover, we will learn from it.

We will grow more resilient because of it.

And as long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing

we will breathe in, breathe through,

breathe deep, breathe out.

And I am a doctor now,

so I know how breathing works.

I hope you know how proud I am to share this day with you.

We're doing this together.

So let's just keep dancing, like we're the Class of '22.
