I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.
* commencement: 입학식
Truth be told, I never graduated from college.
= to tell you the truth, to be honest, frankly, for real
The first story is about connecting the dots.
* connect the dots: to put clues together to figure something out
ex> After connecting the dots, the detective solved the murder and brought the criminal to justice.
Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.
* pop out: to appear suddenly as if by chance or magic
cf> pop in = to visit suddenly and for a short time
ex> When the magician tapped his hat with the wand, a rabbit popped out.
ex> I just popped in to say good-bye.
* last minute: at the very end; something that happens without much planning.
ex> He always chose his vacation destination at the last minute because he thought it made his trips more fun.
