The Unusual Message Reading the commencement speech “This is Water”, written and delivered by David Foster Wallace to students and their families at Kenyon College was nothing like what I was expecting it to be. I can imagine the listeners that were present were just as shocked as I was when they finally grasped the message he was presenting to them that day. Normally when someone delivers a commencement speech to students graduating, it's more along the lines of “be all that you can be” or “You can do it” with emphasis on the word “you.” No one really tells you to think of others first at that point in your lives. However, Wallace did just that.

Members of the Senate, people of Rome, today I have gathered you here so we can share in what is my victory, and soon to be yours. I have recently been named dictator of Rome, an honor which is beyond me, and quite possibly the greatest honor anyone has ever been given. I would like to take a moment to reflect on what has lead up to this wondrous day, as I prepare to cradle Roman society in my very arms. I could not have ascended to this power by myself, no. I believe that I was brought into this world with the light of gods beaming down upon me, and the blood of gods coursing through my veins.

On the 30th anniversary of robotic exploration of Mars, NASA selected the name "Sojourner" for the first rover slated to explore the Red Planet, naming it after Sojourner Truth (“NASA Names,”1997). Sojourner Truth was an African-American escaped slave and women's rights activist who rose to prominence as an abolitionist leader and to be a testament to the humanity of enslaved people. The slaves freed before her were not bold enough to do what she has done in her lifespan. Freed African Americans wanted to keep their freedom, so they accepted less than they deserved. I argue, by standing strong in her Christian faith, Sojourner Truth was one of the most instrumental voices changing slaves’ perception of their status and the perception of a

Creating a beautiful monument that tells their stories and recognizes the sacrifices they have made for our country is truly meaningful work.

Less than a year ago, my brother, Jacob, and I were arguing over something that wasn’t very important, like a snack food of mine that he ate. Today, he is not alive. We always fought over meaningless things and he angered me so much. It’s absurd how much something can change so quickly and how much I wish I had something back, even if it made me mad.
