Back in her day as a high school senior, she was ranked the number one female basketball player in Kentucky. Her jersey was retired at the university she attended, and she was voted to be one of the 50 most significant Kentucky sports figures of the century. She's a 2 time graduate from the university she attended, graduating magna cum laude.
She graduated 4 years ahead of me. I looked forward to hearing her speak.
Her speech was good.
She didn't censor herself...........even talked about God.
It was refreshing.
She knew these students in the sense that she grew up where they have and with very little money just as most of these students. She faced the same prejudices, and she understands
their particular circumstances in general.........
At one point she said "I'd do anything to be sitting where you are today. I'd go back in a second if I could. I'm serious, I'd do anything to be able to go back........except give up my house, my car, and my bank account!" lol.
The whole ceremony was touching.
I didn't cry until daughter, boyfriend, and I walked out the front door to go to the graduation. :O) and then so did daughter!
I was so proud, excited, sad, relieved, and happy.
Yesterday we had a graduation party for daughter.
All of my family was here............and many, many, many, of daughters friends.
We grilled, played corn hole, sat around tables laughing and talking with each other..........it was a wonderful day and evening.

More wonderful memories to revisit for years to come.
That was the easy part, now she has to start making her way through an adult life on a failing planet.
She didn't censor herself...........even talked about God.
He has a big dick, yes?
