There is no greater cliché in a graduation speech than "follow your dream". Well, I'm here to tell you that whatever you think your dream was, will probably change, and that's okay. I like to tell you not to be afraid of failure. You have to understand that whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. When that happens, pick yourself up and keep going."Soberano is an alumnus of the Bachelor of Arts - Communication program of USLS Bacolod.
