Oh the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss

                                           This is a great book for a "soon to be graduate" of any age ...................

The quotes of encouragements are too numerous to list, but noteworthy to explore.
From goodreads - "In this joyous ode to life, Dr. Seuss addresses graduates of all ages, from nursery school to medical school, and gives them the get-up-and-go to move mountains with the unrivaled exuberance and charm that have made Dr. Seuss's books favorites for years."
