      It's easy to make it to MIT. I'm sure you'll get in. Have you tried the AMC 12? Take that. Then take the AIME. If you make it to the USAMO, you'll be basically guaranteed admission to MIT as long as you fill the application out perfectly with no spelling mistakes or obvious errors. @@lutimstrickshots9253

    Hey Mark. I was one of the students in the crowd! Your speech really resonated with me, especially your advice regarding assuming kind intentions from the people close to you. I am someone who often struggles in social settings and overanalyzes all the interactions I have. These days whenever I feel anxious about how I am perceived I try to remind myself of your advice and it really helps :)

    I always felt like something was missing from my academic experience when my school cancelled our commencement ceremony for my undergrad class back in Tehran, Iran, because we were told “art schools don’t deserve a real graduation ceremony”. Now I am a year away from graduating from my 3 year MFA program in the US, and keep feeling like I don’t deserve a future, and I might never have one. After watching this video, I am adopting this speech and ceremony as mine and choose to reimagine my graduation in this beautiful context. Thank you for sharing this video for all the rest of who weren’t MIT class of 2023 to see and be inspired by. Big.. tears.. coming.. in.. oh boy ❤🎉

      In my opinion that's unfair that you don't get a graduation for an Art School. Why does society get to decide how important an interest/hobby/achievement is to each individual... So what if they think an Art School is not as important to them, but it is to you and presumably every other student in the same boat as you and since it is important to you why can't they celebrate that you achieved something? Just seems unfair and narcissistic

      As an MFA graduate from several decades ago, I offer you this advice:
      Create your own destiny. No one else can make you feel that you deserve -- or do not deserve -- anything but you.
      If you feel unworthy, ask yourself what it would take for you to feel worthy. Then DO IT.
      No one will ever show up on your doorstep and hand you your dreams. You need to define them for yourself and take action to make them a reality.

    What's incredible to me about Mark is his confidence to give this speech. He teased himself, famous people, and MIT at several points throughout. The amount of allusions in this speech ensured that everyone would resonate with it in at least one way. The humility he showed and down to earthness(Is that a word?) showed his human side which is really cool to see. That is true confidence in my opinion, and I hope the MIT graduates and everyone listening to it can bring some of this confidence into their lives to make the world a better, non-judgmental place.
