This is Water

I really enjoyed the commencement speech, “This is water.”  The message of the speech reminds me of a quote I just read: “Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim.” I think it is a good reminder to not get too wrapped up in the monotony of daily tasks.  I also liked the description of the average adult life and going to the grocery store.  In high school I used to work at a grocery store, and I noticed the people who went through my line at the check out.  They seemed to hate being there- and the scenario he describes is exactly what happens at a grocery store.  I graduate this December, and I hope this doesn’t turn out to be my life!
