My Granddaughter graduated from HS Today
and I have never been more proud of her; Their science teacher was chosen to give the commencement address and in it he chose various students and speculated the future course of their lives and where life's road would lead them; He prefaced her by saying that our political parties cannot get along, and cannot get anything done and the country suffers; He suggests a Third Party, called the Party of Conscience and hoped my granddaughter would be the leader of such a movement.

I have done my work well...........

For obviously teaching her the most important thing-how to think.

3. Thanks
and she does think for herself; she has a wonderful head on her shoulders and definitely marches to her own drummer;

we must take heart and hope in the future with such wonderful young people going out into the world, as they really are our only hope

5. Just think...four years of college, and then...

...I honestly hope she'll be able to find a job. But I doubt it.

(I posted something here that was a lot more bitter and upsetting. My conscience got the better of me, and I edited the post.)
