I was selected as my class speaker for our 2021 graduation from the Ford School of Public Policy. My speech is about embracing the unknown, a challenge for all of us as we embark on the next phase of our lives. I just wanted to remind myself, my classmates, and anyone who needs to hear it that it’s okay to not know what’s next. Release the chokehold you have on the destination. Things will end up exactly as they were meant.

Good luck to everyone graduating and Go Blue!

Love,

Cydney
