Hip Hop Life

In this reading, DeSean "Puffy" Combs says a couple direct thoughts that really connect with me.Basically he is saying when you want something, you need to strive for it. First one is "you can come from nothing but still amount to something." Theres nobody that was born as a start right from the jump. they need to work for it. he came from nothing to become something. In this other one, he is reffereing to kids or people in the ghetto but i think it still can reflect to everybody. He says "..anything to get you out, you're going to do." a person has to dedicate themselves to what they want to succeed in life with. they have to risk it for what they want.

The Jon Stewart commencement address really stood out to me because the way he used sarcasm and humor to bring foward his statement, is different from other speeches. i think he could set an example for other people that want or need to do speeches. Where he said college is something you complete connects to how some people see college now. Some people only want to go catch a degree and not experience college life.
