Lazyme & 8bit - I was discussing the same thing with a few of my friends the other day, I don't understand why there is so much celebration for a child doing what they are supposed to do, nothing above and beyond, but just doing something that is required by law and to get a job. They didn't do it by choice and it is something that everyone else does...so why all the damn fuss! |

My cousin Stephen graduated this year. At 12 he was smarter and more mature than anyone in my family. I expect amazing things from that one. |

High school is a pretty basic thing to get done. ... I don't see the point to all this ceremony, other than to make the kids feel special. |

This is as bad as the guy speaking at my nieces graduation yesterday. I kept falling asleep. |

What most media have missed in this speech is the the gist of the speech was: "You're not special....YET. It's up to you to become so." |

" A little long-winded, but especially poignant around the 7:00 mark"
There's nothing in that description that makes me want to watch this video. |
