FIT Graduation Ceremonies

Tim Wakefield - Commencement Speaker pitched one down the middle to the graduates and their parents.
"Get a job, stop mooching off your parents and pay off your student loans."
After the applause and laughter, Wakefield shared some real life lessons, including:
  • "Never let go of your dreams."
  • "Never let anybody tell you that you can't do
          something."
  • "Listen to the people around you who care
          about you."
  • "And be a mentor to others."
