I loved revisiting. Noah and Casey’s graduation speeches and getting a glimpse of your, but you’re right/ the show stopper was George Saunders who combined wit and wisdom with a very simple, powerful message - the role - the value - the power of kindness. I loved it. Thank you for putting this provocative, charming assemblage together. You are amazing. I think thoughtful / in all it’s ramifications- may be right up there with kindness. Big hugs, Louise
Jeez, all of these were way better than any of mine. My high school valedictorian fell back on Frost's "The Road Not Taken," but she did the school-friendly version that is only the first and last stanzas, and leaves out the middle two. My language arts teacher in junior year had been so annoyed by all of the inspirational posters with the incomplete poem on them, he committed a whole class to analyzing the poem in its entirety... but she was in the other language arts teacher's class.
I loved Noah's - "keep the sticking to your guns within reason" is great advice!
Congratulations that your children and you were graduation speakers. All the speeches were moving. I wonder if this is a family record!
