David McCullough gave a commencement speech at Wellesley High School. I felt as if that speech was very eye opening to the fact that it's unfair how some people get things handed to them while others have to struggle and work hard to get acknowledged. When he states "You are not special" I think he is trying to motivate the students by letting them that you have to do better than everyone else and make yourself stand out to get noticed and achieve your goals. He is trying to say that graduating high school isn't enough, you have your whole life ahead of you so stand up and take charge and make yourself known so you can be "Special." When he mentions weddings and divorce, I believe that he is trying to prove a point that life has it's ups and downs but it's up to you to pull yourself up and keep working towards your goal. Life has many possibilities and it's up to you whether you succeed or you fail. When He says "Before you scatter to the winds; I urge you to do whatever you do for no reason other than you love it and believe in it's importance." This qoute is very important because when you love something you push yourself so you can get at its and that's what makes you succeed in life because your doing what you love with a passion not because you have to do it. His speech has great meaning to it and it makes you look at things from a different perspective, his words motivate you to do better and try harder not give up on something that's important to you.
