Congrats, graduates! And what wonderful speeches your top 3 provided. My own poor father started out as a shoesine boy in front of the state house before accepting the lowest paying state job (that nobody wanted). Thru hard work and determination (and budgeting the little $ he made), he worked his way up to a top job. ANYTHING is possible when you work hard, give up the idea of instant gratification and make good choices in life. God bless you all!report abuse
