I am master of Branford College at Yale, I live on the campus and know the students well. I listen to their hopes and fears and also to their stereo music and their piercing cries in the dead of night. They come to me to ask how to get through the rest of their lives.
Mainly I try to remind them that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, wholesale replica designer handbags, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don’t want to hear such news. They want a map right now theat they can follow directly to career security, financial security, social security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.
What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future, I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trp and fall, wholesale coach handbags, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world.
My wish, of course, is naïve, one of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail. Achievement is the national god, wholesale designer handbags, worshipped in our mideia, the million dollar athlete, the wealthy executive and glorified in our praise of possessions, in the presence of such a potent state relighion, the young are growing up old.
