haddonfield.today | 3<br />
It’s graduation time,<br />
and high school students are<br />
planning what comes next.<br />
What advice would you<br />
give to today’s graduates?<br />
NICK STAFFIERI<br />
of Clayton would<br />
encourage new<br />
graduates to consider<br />
the trades. “There’s<br />
too much pressure<br />
to go to college,” he<br />
said. “My college<br />
friends are up to their<br />
eyeballs in debt. My<br />
friends who work in<br />
the trades are rolling<br />
in dough.”<br />
“I’d tell graduates to<br />
go into the service,”<br />
said JIM CONFREDO<br />
of Westampton.<br />
“Learn about the<br />
world and get some<br />
street-smarts. Kids<br />
today have no clue.”<br />
<strong>Haddonfield</strong>’s<br />
FLORENCE<br />
WARNER says<br />
“Don’t take things<br />
personally. Let<br />
criticism bounce off<br />
you. You know your<br />
skills and talents,<br />
and what you’re<br />
worth.”<br />
PRUDY LA MANTIA<br />
of Bellmawr would<br />
advise graduates to<br />
not rush. “Take things<br />
as they come. Enjoy<br />
them for what they<br />
are. Give yourself<br />
time to appreciate life<br />
as it is.”<br />
<strong>Haddonfield</strong>’s DAVE<br />
PODGOR would<br />
urge graduates to<br />
not take life too<br />
seriously. “If you do<br />
what you enjoy and<br />
enjoy what you do,<br />
good things will<br />
come to you.”<br />
“Know your passion,”<br />
said KEVIN ROCHE<br />
of <strong>Haddonfield</strong>. “Life<br />
is too short to live<br />
with regret.”
