Big Island Now’s poll: What advice would you give graduating high school seniors

Beginning on Friday, diplomas will be handed out to seniors, many wearing lei, at 14 high schools and academies on the Big Island.

Of course, there will be graduation speeches, with mature adults providing young adults with advice and words of wisdom gained from decades of experience.

For Big Island Now’s 12th 30-second poll we ask: What advice would you give today’s graduating high school seniors?

Please leave a comment here or on social media to let us know why you voted the way you did — or if you have other words of wisdom for the graduates.
