Jon Stewart, Commencement Address

    Ending my senior year of high school and beginning to start my freshman year of college was a nerve racking time for me and I'am sure it was for alot of other high school seniors. I was scared of leaving my comfort zone. I was scared of starting the next chapter in my life. I think this article was spot on when discussing this guys freshman year of college, and so far I can relate to it. Leaving high school, you know that the next step was going to college, and that it would be an experience of a lifetime. I agree with the author when he states that "The entire place is an elective. The paths are infinite and the results uncertain." I agree because now that I am in my second semester of my freshman year of college, I know that there are so many paths that I can follow that will lead to my success, but finding the right paths is something that you have to be careful of and really take into consideration.        Being in college has really opened up the doors for me and for the rest of my life. Completing college in hopefully three more years is something that I look forward to every day, and having success is the best thing that anyone could ever ask for, but you are not going to get there without hard work. The author was very serious when he was discussing success, and I think it is important that high school seniors get a good insight on what to expect during freshman year of college. College most definitely  has many challenges that you are going to have to face, and I have already experienced some myself but I didn't give up and worked hard to push through those challenges. All together, this article was a piece of informative writing and I really liked the way it gave high school seniors the tips that they need to be successful in your freshman year of college. It is true that things are going to change rapidly, but most importantly life is going to get better.
