Jon Stewart 10/2/11

I really enjoyed reading the commencement address made by Jon Stewart at his former college. I am a big fan of Jon Stewart; I think he is hilarious. I've never been to a college graduation, but I've heard some good stories about celebrities doing the address at colleges. Getting a person like Jon Stewart to do it would be awesome in my personal opinion. He makes some good points about community and America as a whole. He knows there is a time to be funny and a time to be serious and he mixes the two very effectively in this address. He talks about the difference between college and life and points out how more focus should be put on life because college is just something one finishes. And when talking about America he points out how they came together and persevered after 9/11. Altogether i enjoyed the reading and it showed me that it doesn't matter how successful you are in life because if you work hard and let the cards fall where they may then something will work out somewhere down the line.

  1. Chris, I agree with you; Stewart does appear to be a pretty awesome guy to meet. Regarding your point about working hard, I readily agree with you because as a musician I must work hard to achieve great things. A lot of my college extracurricular activities involve socializing and working together with my fellow musicians :).
