Practically anyone who knows me, knows by now that my family had two graduations this weekend. On the same day. In two different towns. However, fortune smiled and due to the times of the ceremonies, we were able to attend both.
Mindy graduated from St. Catharine's College in Springfield, KY with a degree in Sonography. Andy graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in Pyschology. We are extremely proud of them both.
Countless blessings have come to pass during these last few years.
Friends made
Love found.
Making it to this point has, of course, been a series of celebrations. And, as any parent knows, the time between these pictures.....
and this picture...
well, it flew.
In honor of these special events, I thought it would be fun to share some thoughts on graduation from a few sources....
Tom Brokaw
You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.
Sydney Harris
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.
Garry Trudeau
Commencement speeches were invented largely in the belief that outgoing college students should never be released into the world until they have been properly sedated.
Incidentally, The square academic cap is called a mortarboard because of its similarity in appearance to the hawk used by bricklayers to hold mortar. (Or so Wikapedia says)
Blessings on all graduates tonight.
