Class bookends, both beginnings and endings, deserve special attention.

Baz Luhrmann – Everybody’s free to wear sunscreen www.lyricscrawler.com/song/3953.html

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99…Wear sunscreen.If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh never mind - you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

Closing ceremonies

You’re not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind - the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts. Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.


Closing ceremonies

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees - you’ll miss them when they’re gone.


Closing ceremonies

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40. Maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. What ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own. Dance… Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.


Closing ceremonies

Do NOT read beauty magazines - they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents - you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings - they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.


Closing ceremonies

Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasise that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse… but you never know when either one might run out.


Closing ceremonies

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Celta class of March 2013…Be warned.

If I could offer you only one tip for the Celta, caffeine would be it.If you find yourself staring at your computer screen at 4 in the morning, remember: you are not alone.

Elicit.Even if you get blank stares from your students.At least you’re trying.…Whatever you do, don’t judge your potential on one morning of teaching.You’ll have good days and bad days.

Love.Love your Celta friends – they are the people who will get you through.

By Adam, Jacqueline, Tasha, Renato, Steph, Caroline and Laura

Ladies and gentlemen of the FCE classes of 2013…Work hard.If I could give you one tip for this year at IH, hard work would be it.Don’t leave it all until November.

Read the question.In the writing test, read the question carefully.Include all the points or you might fail.

Watch the timing. Timing is especially important in the exam.

Maybe you’ll pass with an A, maybe you won’t. But the important thing is that you learn!
