Because of the worldwide pandemic, students will not get the chance this year to walk on stage to receive their diploma so, to honour the graduating class of 2020, celebrities like Selena Gomez, Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Oprah and many more have virtually come together on Facebook and Instagram to deliver speeches, performances and more.

Selena shared a very important message with the graduating class:

 

“When people ask me what I would tell my younger self, I always said, ‘Go ahead and do it.’  You all have worked incredibly hard to get to this point and I know it’s not exactly how you imagined your graduation to look like.  I just want to say it’s okay not to know what to do with the rest of your life.  It’s a journey to find your direction or your passions, so don’t get frustrated by the mistakes and setbacks as they happen to all of us.  The amazing Oprah, like she said, you don’t become what you want not, you become what you believe.  I think that really resonates as if you don’t believe in yourself, don’t expect others to believe in your abilities.  Hopefully, you know, when large gatherings are allowed, everybody can get together and celebrate your important achievement.  But until then stay safe, stay connected with your friends and loved ones, and congratulations for this milestone.”
