It is May, which means that graduation season is upon us. My own daughter will be graduating from elementary school next month, and I can’t believe it. Each graduation is a celebration of achievements and accomplishing goals, but it is also a time to look forward to what the future has in store. In 50 Life Lessons for Grads, Surprising Advice from Recent Graduates, Janet Holm McHenry put together a book that is filled with sage advice for graduates, from graduates, about navigating life and its challenges.
Each life lesson is only a couple of pages, so it makes for easy reading. There is also a corresponding Bible verse and practical suggestions for implementing each lesson in your everyday life. I found many of the lessons applicable to my own life (e.g. Education is a lifelong process, Interruptions can be opportunities) even though I graduated many years ago!

My advice is to finish school…all the way through. Don’t take a break or you lose your momentum. Get it done and finished.
My advice would be enjoy life and don’t stress out
I would tell a grad to stay in school no matter what.
My advice would be to create a study schedule so that you always have time to study.
Keep focused on the goal and the finish line. You can do it.
My advice would be don’t worry so much.
Follow you dreams and your heart!
To a high school graduate, or to any high school student really, I would say this: Don’t think about what you want to study; think about what you want to do or be. At the very least ~consider~ being career/work-oriented, rather than [college] major-oriented.
keep focused!
My advice is Live it up! Go for your dreams are my advice.
My advice to a graduate would be go for your dreams! You can do anything you put your mind to!
My advice would be if you don’t get the job you love, learn to love the job you have.
study hard and get a good job.
My advice is to stay focused and surround yourself with positive people.
I would say chase adventure, do what make you happy and excited to get out of bed every day!!
My advice is to enjoy every day and to find your passion in life.
My advice is to say yes to every opportunity life gives you.
Do something you love!
find a job that you enjoy
Study hard, and learn how to budget time wisely. Nothing is worse than disorganization, as it all goes by so quickly.
My advice would be to take a job that you feel you would enjoy even if it’s not your dream job. That may come to you later.
have an open mind
Have fun, but remember the end goal is to get your degree.
My advice would be to enjoy this time in your life. It is a special and important time.
have fun
i would tell them to enjoy their youth!
I would tell them to be flexible in their life goals.
I would advise finishing school and that means college (if you choose to go). So many of my granddaughters friends did not finish college for various reasons and none of the reasons make any good sense. My granddaughter will be graduating next month and already has a job offer in her field. I just wish a few of her friends would have stayed with their plans!!
Don’t be afraid to carve your own path. Sometimes the wrong direction actually turns out to be where you need to be!
My advice would be to reach for their dreams and never give up.
don’t stop
My advice to a recent graduate is to start saving money now.
Dont procrastinate.
Learn to live within your budget. Don’t rely on credit cards to get by.
