ABC’s of Advice

My summer session writing instructor gave us an exercise to write either a 26-word or 26-sentence speech to give to a graduating class. The words or sentences were to begin with the letters of the alphabet, A through Z, in order. And then she gave us 10 or 15 minutes to write the speech. "Go," she said. I finished, and think there is some good advice here ( it's unretouched ). What do you think?
