Around this time last year, the time that was supposed to be my daughter's college graduation, we were watching a televised graduation celebration featuring President Obama and a cast of famous people from various arenas as they sent messages of hope and wisdom to a disappointed class of 2020. Later, we celebrated a virtual graduation through her college with her classmates. She wore her cap and gown for this one and we made it as much fun as a virtual graduation can be.
Tomorrow, she gets to do it for real.
It's been a long day of driving capping off a long week of grading and I still have a zipper to re-attach to that graduation gown, so instead of my words of wisdom, I'll leave you with a list of graduation quotes from Parade magazine. Though they're for the class of 2021 (according to the title), graduation quotes are pretty much evergreen. Besides, it is 2021, even if we happen to be celebrating the class of 2020, so I'm pretty sure those quotes still apply.
Happy graduation to the class of 2021, and to those in the class of 2020 whose colleges kept their promises for an in-person ceremony, against all odds.
