dunno why but out of the blue, I'm thinking about Jessica Stanley's speech in Eclipse Movie, you know? well, in the book it's supposed to be Eric who is the valedictorian. but in the movie, Eric's been a ridiculous guy since the beginning and definitely couldnt be a valedictorian (an academic title conferred upon the highest ranked student among those graduating from an educational institution)
here's what she says (which is 'damn it's true'):
“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case, a princess. When we were ten, they asked again. We answered rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this: who the hell knows? This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love… a lot. Major in philosophy, cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind and change it again, because nothing’s permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be, we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
I have to admit I got a lump in my throat listening to this, even reading it now nearly makes me cry….it’s such a good speech & so true :) - anon
