With so many high school and college students receiving diplomas in May, it’s easy to get caught up in the graduation spirit. It’s no different here at the Standard.I know I’ve been following graduation ceremonies throughout the country and was pleased to see even President Obama has made appearances as a keynote speaker.In an address just the other day, Obama talked about the challenges Americans face growing up, and especially the struggles he faced as a black teen. Obama told the graduation audience that as a black male, he could have likely ended up unemployed – or even in prison.
