Hiaasen, Carl. Assume the Worse. 2018. 15 mins. ISBN 9780525643135. Available as an audiobook on Overdrive.
If you've ever been to a graduation, you have heard an inspirational speech made from a famous (or not so famous) guest speaker designed to motivate and point out all of the ways in which graduates will impact the world. For the most part, however, these are platitudes that are meaningless. Famous author and reporter Carl Hiaasen set out to create the perfect graduation speech you will never hear. In Assume the Worse, Hiaasen discusses all of the lies and misrepresentations that take place in a graduation speech, and instead focus on telling it like it is, with the hope of warning you about life, not painting a rosy picture that will not live up to expectations.
Filled with wisdom and a clever understanding of the world, all graduates or soon-to-be graduates should listen to this speech and see what the world is really like!
