Read the beginning of Divya's personal narrative, "The Graduation Speech." Ab
"There's no way I would ever volunteer to be our graduation speaker," I snapped. Jill [WOL] surprised. “I don't
even like raising my hand in school," I continued. "Why on earth would I put myself in a position to speak in
front of our entire class?"
She smiled knowingly. “I think you have a lot to say, Divya, and it's time to finally let it out. You always give
me great advice. Graduation is a major turning point, and everyone will be looking for a little advice and
encouragement as they venture into the world. See? You (WOL) the perfect person to give this speech!"
