Speaker 1 (00:00):
High school graduations are happening all over the valley, so
we thought it'd be fun this morning to take some
advice from some of our listeners out there and Chris
Jenner two that they would offer upcoming high school graduates.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
So Chris Jenner sat on this podcast to keep your
car clean like that was her piece of real world
advice because it makes it feel good about yourself. This
has a lot about how you want to present yourself
to the world and simple advice. I think it goes
along and I think it's relatable. I think it's like
keeping your car clean is something I think we can
all do.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Absolutely, So we're taking calls on this this morning seven
oh two, seven nine six, one oh six five. But
I thought it'd be kind of fun to give our
real world piece of advice to upcoming high school graduates.
I have mine, do you have? Do you have a
piece of advice?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Well, let me start with yours so that'll know what
direction to go.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Well, listen, mine's going to be relatively simple, and it's
going to be take this next chapter headed into college
to discover yourself. And I say, discover yourself any which
way you want to take that For me, looking back,
it's a time to truly just try all types of things,
do all types of experiences, and figure out who you
(01:04):
are when you're young, because when you're older, I think
it's a lot harder to be able to do that. Yeah,
And I to say you can't discover yourself at different
points in life. I just think when you have a
lot of responsibilities bills to pay, you're maybe more cautious
to discover yourself. So when you're young, maybe experience a
little bit more freedom. It's the perfect time to discover
(01:24):
yourself and really just get out there and try everything.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I would also say don't let nose discourage you. You're
going to get a lot of those in life, sure,
And don't be afraid of failure. Maybe that's I think
those kind of go hand in hand because I think
in my life I suffered from a lot of analysis
paralysis where I was afraid to start something because I
was afraid I wasn't going to be good at it
(01:50):
or I was going to fail at it and immediately.
But every no gets you closer to a yes, Every
failure gets you closer to a success.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, And the faster you can move on from those things, right,
the better off you'll be. That's a great solid advice.
So let's hear from other people this morning as well again.
Seven oh two seven nine six one six five. Sarah's
been on hold. Good morning, Sarah. So, do you have
any advice for upcoming graduates?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, Actually, I think the most important thing for them
to know is like a big decisions obviously coming up
in their lives, Like and it feels like when you
make these decisions about like college and what you're studying
and all that, it feels like a really permanent decision.
But I just want them to know that, like, don't
be scared to change your mind. You go with your gut.
(02:34):
If you get into you know, college or whatever career
path you've chosen, and you go, you know what, I
really don't think this isn't for me. But you want
to change your mind, do it, do it early. Don't
be scared to change your minds.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
That's such a good life lesson in general, right to
be able to pivot and navigate without any remorse or regret, Like,
just just make it happen if you're not happy. I
think that's really solid advice exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I feel like people get stuck, like I made this
decision and now I have to stick with it. But
you know, people go back to school all the time
for all kinds of different things, and you change your
mind all the time. You're going to be, you know,
five different people in your whole lifetime. This is just
one choice that you've made. You can change it.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh, I changed my major several times. If I look,
if I'd stuck with my first major, I would be
the world's worst surgeon.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
See changing your mind.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, wow, I mean listen, that's solid advice. It can
apply to everybody. But I think the faster you learn it,
especially being a high school graduate, the better you'll be
in the long run.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, and it feels so permanent, but it doesn't have
to be.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Great advice. Love it. Thank you so much for your time.
