Scripps College Alumna Offers Advice about Commencement Addresses: |
|

|
"Give your own advice in your own words. We know today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Last year, for example, Legally Blonde screenwriter Kirsten Smith told Scripps College’s Class of 2008, ‘Today is the beginning of your Act 2.’ She nailed it." |
