He encourages students to “celebrate the milestones” and to “meditate on the possibilities of life” since each one can bring great things. He wants them to know that the most important thing they can do is embrace their unique gifts and be the best version of themselves. You can watch Doh Hahn’s sweet “Commencement Speech” here!
