1
Now being here with you brings back a flood of memories.
2
I remember the first time I arrived on campus as an incoming law student in the fall of 1969,
3
wearing my bell-bottoms, driving a beat-up old car with a mattress tied to the roof,
4
I had no idea what to expect.
5
Now, to be honest, I had had some trouble making up my mind between Yale and Harvard law schools.
6
Then one day, while we were still in that period of decision-making,
7
I was invited to a cocktail party at Harvard for potentially incoming law students,
8
where I met a famous law professor.
9
A friend of mine, a male law student, introduced me to this famous law professor.
10
I mean, truly, big, three-piece suit, watch chain.
11
And my friend said, Professor, This is Hilary Rodham.
12
She's trying to decide whether to come here next year or sign up with our closest competitor.
13
The great man gave me a cool dismissive look and said,
14
well first of all, we don't have any close competitors.
15
And secondly, we don't need any more women at Harvard.
16
I was leaning toward Yale anyway.
17
But that pretty much sealed the deal.
18
And when I came to Yale, I was one of 27 women out of 235 law students.
19
It was the first year women were admitted to the college.
20
And as that first class of women prepared to graduate four years later,
21
the New York Times reported on Yale's foray into co-education, noting that the women, quote,
22
worked harder and got somewhat better grades than the 940 men graduating with them.
23
A fact, they went on to say, that some of the men apparently found threatening.
24
Well, I was shocked.
25
But over the years, Yale has been a home away from home for me, a place I've returned to time and again.
26
I spoke to Class Day back in 2001 on the 300th anniversary of the university, and I hope that that will be the case for many of you as well.
27
This school has been responsible for some of my most treasured friends and colleagues, like Jake Sullivan and Harold Koh,
28
and I've watched some of you grow up like Rebecca Shaw who's graduating today and you'll hear from shortly.
29
And I've been honored to serve over the last year
30
or two working with some of the Yale Law School faculty including the new Dean Heather Gerken.
31
Now Yale grads, many of whom are also here today have worked for me in the United States Senate, the State Department on my presidential campaigns,
32
and I have been so well served.
33
I have a very dedicated campaign intern here graduating, David Scheimer, the class of 2018.
34
But I have to confess, of all the formative experiences I had at Yale,
35
perhaps none was more significant than the day during my second year
36
when I was cutting through what was then the student lounge with some friends and I saw this tall,
37
handsome guy with a beard who looked like a Viking.
38
I said to my friend, well, who is that?
39
And she said, well, that's Bill Clinton.
40
He's from Arkansas and that's all he ever talks about.
41
And then as if on cue, I hear him saying, and not only that, we grow the biggest watermelons in the world.
42
And I was like, who is this person?
43
But he kept looking at me, and I kept looking back.
44
And so we were in the law library one night.
45
I was studying.
46
But I couldn't help but see, you know, occasionally as I lifted my head up, that he was again looking at me.
47
So finally I thought, this is ridiculous.
48
So I got up, went over to him, and I said, if you're going to keep looking at me and I'm going to keep looking back, we at least ought to be introduced.
49
I'm Hillary Rodham.
50
Who are you?
51
And that started a conversation that continues to this day.
52
Now it was also here at Yale
53
that I saw a flyer in the law school on a bulletin board that changed my life.
54
Now some of your parents and grandparents may remember flyers and bulletin boards.
55
For the rest of you, suffice it to say that was how we got information.
56
It was like Facebook, but the bulletin board didn't steal your personal information.
57
So, one day I saw a note about a woman named Marian Wright Edelman, a Yale Law School graduate,
58
civil rights activist, who would go on to found the Children's Defense Fund.
59
Marian was coming back to campus to give a lecture.
60
I went, I was captivated to hear her talk about using her Yale education to create a a Head Start program in rural Mississippi.
61
And I wound up working for her that summer, and the experience opened my eyes to the ways that the law can protect children or come up short.
62
Because like many of you, I learned just as much outside the four walls of the classroom as I did sitting in a lecture hall.
63
And I discovered a passion that has animated my life and my work ever since.
64
Now a lot has changed since I was here.
65
In 2019, Yale will celebrate the 50th anniversary
66
of the matriculation of women at the college and the 150th anniversary of the first women graduate students at Yale.
67
And I heard that Yale officially changed the term freshman to first year.
68
I also heard, amazingly, that the Duke's men and the whiffenpoofs had started welcoming women.
69
Now as for my long lost WIFS audition tape, I have buried it so deep not even WikiLeaks will be able to find it.
70
Because if you thought my emails were scandalous, you should hear my singing voice.
71
I find it very exciting that today's graduates hail from all 50 states,
72
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and 56 other countries.
73
And in your four years on campus, you've survived late nights in the vast cubicles and early mornings in the sterling stacks.
74
You've trekked up Science Hill.
75
Maybe you've even found love at the Last Chance Dance.
76
And now you're ready to take on your next adventure.
77
But maybe some of you are reluctant to leave.
78
I understand that.
79
It's possible to feel both
80
because the class of 2018 is graduating at one of the most tumultuous times in the history of our country.
81
And I say that as someone who graduated in the 60s.
82
I recently went back and looked up those famous lines from Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities because,
83
you know, I usually end after saying it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
84
But it goes on it was the age of wisdom it
85
was the age of foolishness it was the epic of belief
86
it was the epic of incredulity it was the season of
87
light it was a season of darkness it was the spring
88
of hope it was the winter of despair now Dickens was
89
writing about the years leading up to the French Revolution
90
but he could have been describing the ricocheting highs and lows of this moment in America.
91
We're living through a time when fundamental rights, civic virtue, freedom of the press,
92
even facts and reason are under assault like never before.
93
But we are also witnessing an era of new moral conviction,
94
civic engagement, and a sense of devotion to our democracy and country.
95
So here's the good news.
96
If any group were ever prepared to rise to the occasion, it is you, the class of 2018.
97
You've already demonstrated the character and courage that will help you navigate this tumultuous moment.
98
And most of all, you've demonstrated resilience.
99
Now that's a word that's been on my mind a lot recently.
100
One of my personal heroes Eleanor Roosevelt said,
101
you gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
102
You are able to say to yourself, I have lived through this horror.
103
I can take the next thing that comes along.
104
Well, that's resilience.
105
And it's so important because everyone, Everyone, everyone gets knocked down.
106
What matters is whether you get back up and keep going.
107
This may be hard for a group of Yale soon to be graduates to accept, but yes, you will make mistakes in life.
108
You will even fail.
109
It happens to all of us, no matter how qualified or capable we are.
110
Take it from me.
111
Oh, I remember those first months after that 2016 election were not easy.
112
We all had our own methods of coping.
113
I went for long walks in the woods.
114
Yale students went for long walks in East Rock Park.
115
I spent hours going down a Twitter rabbit hole.
116
You spent hours in the Yale memes group.
117
I had my fair share of Chardonnay.
118
You had penny drinks at Wode's.
119
I practiced yoga and alternate nostril breathing.
120
You took Psyche and the Good Life.
121
And let me just get this out of the way.
122
No, I'm not over it.
123
I still think about the 2016 election.
124
I still regret the mistakes I made.
125
I still think, though, that understanding what happened in such a weird
126
and wild election in American history will help us defend our democracy in the future.
127
Whether you're right, left, center, Republican, Democrat, Independent, Vegetarian, whatever.
128
We all have a stake in that.
129
So today as a person, I'm okay, but as an American, I'm concerned.
130
You know, personal resilience is important, but it's not the only form of resilience we need right now.
131
We also need community resilience.
132
That's something that this class has embodied during your time on campus, literally at times, like in the march of resilience your sophomore year.
133
It was the biggest demonstration in the history of the school,
134
that's 300 plus years, led by women of color, supported by students and faculty, determined to make Yale a more just,
135
equitable and safe place for everyone.
136
Many of you have said that March was a defining moment in your college experience, and that says something about this class and your values.
137
Because the truth is, our country is more polarized than ever.
138
We have sorted ourselves into opposing camps, and that divides how we see the world.
139
The data backs this up.
140
There are more liberals and conservatives than there used to be, and fewer centrists.
141
Our political parties are more ideologically and geographically consistent,
142
which means there are fewer northern Republicans and fewer southern Democrats.
143
And the divides on race and religion are starker than ever before.
144
And as the middle shrank, partisan animosity grew.
145
Now, I'm not gonna get political here, but this isn't simply a both sides problem.
146
The radicalization of American politics hasn't been symmetrical.
147
There are leaders in our country who blatantly incite people with hateful rhetoric,
148
who fear change, who see the world in zero-sum terms, so that if others are gaining, well, they must be losing.
149
That's a recipe for polarization and conflict.
150
Our social fabric is fraying and the bonds of community that hold us together are fractured.
151
This isn't just a problem because it leads to unpleasant conversations over the Thanksgiving dinner table.
152
It's a problem because it undermines the civic spirit that makes democracy possible.
153
habits of the heart that de Tocqueville found so unique in the American character.
154
I believe healing our country is going to take what I call radical empathy.
155
As hard as it is, this is a moment to reach across divides of race,
156
class, and politics, to try to see the world through the eyes of people very different from ourselves,
157
and to return to rational debate, to find a way to disagree without being disagreeable,
158
to try to recapture a sense of community and common humanity.
159
When we think about politics and judge our leaders, we can't just ask, am I better off than I was two years or four years ago?
160
We have to ask, are we all better off?
161
Are we as a country better, stronger, and fairer?
162
something you've done here at Yale.
163
You've learned that you don't need to be an immigrant to be outraged when a classmate's father,
164
a human being who contributes to his family and his country, is unjustly deported.
165
You don't need to be a person of color to understand that when black students feel singled out and targeted, we still have work to do.
166
And you don't need to experience gun violence to know that
167
when a teenager in Texas who just survived a mass shooting says she's not surprised by what happened at her school because,
168
and I quote, I've always felt like eventually it was going to happen here too.
169
We are failing our children.
170
So enough is enough.
171
We need to come together, and we certainly need common sense gun safety legislation as soon as we can get it.
172
Now, empathy should not only be at the center of our individual lives, our families and our communities,
173
it should be at the center of our public life, our policies, and our politics.
174
I know we don't always think of politics and empathy as going hand in hand, but they can, and more than that, they must.
175
As former Secretary Madeleine Albright writes in her terrific new book, Fascism, A Warning, she says,
176
this generosity of spirit, this caring about others and about the proposition
177
that we are all created equal is the single most effective antidote to the self-centered moral numbness that allows fascism to thrive.
178
Of course, Madeline had personal experience fleeing the Nazis in Czechoslovakia as a baby,
179
returning after the war, fleeing the communists as a young girl.
180
Now that brings me to one more form of resilience that's been on my mind over the last year, democratic resilience.
181
In 1787, after the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin, who, by the way, received an honorary degree from Yale,
182
was asked by a woman in the street outside Independence Hall, well, doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?
183
And Franklin answered, a republic if you can keep it.
184
Right now we're living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy.
185
Now there are not chanks in the streets, but what's happening right now goes to the heart of who we are as a nation.
186
And I say this not as a Democrat who lost an election, but as an American afraid of losing a country.
187
There are certain things that are so essential they should transcend politics.
188
Raging a war on the rule of law and a free press, delegitimizing elections, perpetrating shameless corruption,
189
and rejecting the idea that our leaders should be public servants undermines our national unity.
190
And attacking truth and reason, evidence and facts should alarm us all.
191
You and your parents have just paid for a first-class, world-class education.
192
And as Yale history professor Timothy Snyder writes in his book on tyranny, to abandon facts is to abandon freedom.
193
If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power because there is no basis upon which to do so.
194
If nothing is true, then all is spectacle.
195
I think Professor Snyder, both in that book and in his new one, The Road to Unfreedom, is sounding the alarm as loudly as he can.
196
Because attempting to erase the line between fact and fiction, truth and reality is a core feature of authoritarianism.
197
The goal is to make us question logic and reason
198
and to sow mistrust toward exactly the people we need to rely on.
199
Our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, even ourselves.
200
Just this week, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said, If our leaders seek to conceal the truth,
201
or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts,
202
then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom.
203
Perhaps a tad late, but he's absolutely right.
204
So how do we build democratic resilience?
205
I think it starts with standing up for truth, facts, and reason, not just in the classroom and on campus, but every day in our lives.
206
It means speaking out about the vital role of higher education in our society to create opportunity and equality.
207
It means calling out actual fake news when we see it, and supporting brave journalists and their reporting,
208
maybe even by subscribing to a newspaper.
209
Now most of all, as obvious as it seems, it means voting in every election, not just the presidential ones.
210
So yes, these are challenging times for America, but we've come through challenging times before.
211
You know, I think back to the night Barack Obama was elected president.
212
Many of us, so many of us were jubilant.
213
Even I, who had once hoped to beat him, was ecstatic.
214
It was such a hopeful moment.
215
And yet in some ways this moment feels even more hopeful
216
because this is a battle-hardened hope tempered by loss and clear-eyed about the stakes.
217
We are standing up to policies that hurt people.
218
We are standing up for all people being treated with dignity.
219
We are doing the work to translate those feelings into action.
220
And the fact that some days it is really hard to keep at it just makes it
221
that much more remarkable that so many of us are, in fact, keeping at it.
222
It's not easy to wade back into the fight every day, but we're doing it.
223
And that's why I am optimistic, because of how unbelievably tough Americans are proving to be.
224
I've encountered lots of people in recent months who give me hope.
225
The Parkland students who endured unthinkable tragedy and have responded with courage and resolve.
226
The leaders and groups I've gotten to know through Onward Together,
227
an organization I started after the election to encourage the outpouring of grassroots engagement that we're seeing.
228
Everyone who is marching, registering voters, and diving into the issues facing us like never before.
229
Some for the very first time in their lives.
230
And I find hope in the wave of women running for office and winning.
231
And hope in the women and men who are dismantling the notion
232
that women should have to endure harassment and violence as a part of our lives.
233
So we have a long way to go.
234
There are many fights to fight, and more seem to arise every day.
235
It will take work to keep up the pressure,
236
to stay vigilant, to neither close our eyes nor numb our hearts or throw up our hands and say,
237
someone else take over from here.
238
Because at this moment in our history, our country depends on every citizen believing in the power of their actions,
239
even when that power is invisible and their efforts feel like an uphill battle.
240
of every citizen voting in every election, even when your side loses.
241
It is a matter of infinite faith, this faith we have in the ability to govern ourselves, to come together, to make honorable,
242
practical compromise in the pursuit of ends that will lift us all up and move us forward.
243
So yes, we need to pace ourselves, but also lean on each other, look for the good wherever we can,
244
celebrate heroes, encourage children, find ways to disagree respectfully.
245
We need to be ready to lose some fights because we will.
246
As John McCain recently reminded us, no just cause is futile even if it's lost.
247
What matters, what matters is to keep going no matter what, keep going.
248
The Yale you're graduating from is very different from the Yale I graduated from.
249
It's different even from the Yale that welcomed you four years ago.
250
Four years ago not one of Yale's colleges was named after a woman.
251
Today students are carrying on the legacy of a trailblazing LGBT civil rights activist at Pauli Murray College
252
and celebrating one of Yale's Yale's own hidden figures at Grace Hopper College,
253
named after the naval officer who happened to be one of the first computer programmers in America.
254
Those changes didn't happen on their own.
255
You made them possible.
256
You kept fighting.
257
You kept the faith.
258
And because of that, in the end, you changed Yale as much as Yale changed you.
259
And now it's time for you to make your mark on the world.
260
I know the best, the best for you, for Yale, and for America is yet to come.
261
And you each will have a role to play and a contribution to make.
262
Thank you and congratulations to the class of 2018!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
