![]() ![]() This year, my favorite message of perseverance comes from Abby Wambach at Barnard College. (Great advice that was largely unappreciated.)īut mostly, like many writers and artists, I love a great perseverance story-a story that details someone overcoming years of rejection and failure and self-loathing, to finally get a lucky break and succeed. Two favorites were John Irving reading a work-in-progress, and Millicent Fenwick’s message to the Rutgers College Class of 1983: Be careful who you marry. This is partly because I grew up in academia, so I’ve heard a lot of them. If you know me in real life, you know I love a good graduation speech. (Check out her website for a list of her books.) If you have read this blog in the last year or so, you will remember Sarah from this post and this one. As I mentioned in Monday’s post, today on the blog is a guest post written by the marvelous Sarah Aronson, author of the Wish List series, published by Scholastic, and other books. ![]()
