There&#8217;s something about high school graduations that are special. They&#8217;re life events that your entire family gets involved in, in the community you have parties and barbecues.\u00a0 I have been in charge of graduations a two different schools &#8211; they are massive events and the culmination of 12 years of school.\u00a0 Talk about pressure!<\/p>\n<p>Two years after I left one school because I\u00a0 moved to a different state, the sophomore class that I had my last year asked me to come back and speak at their graduation.<\/p>\n<p>I was so honored.\u00a0 It&#8217;s incredible to think that two years after you leave a school that the students would want you to come back.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m going to share today the speech that I gave at graduation and it&#8217;s about the heroic journey, our own journeys, and the roles that we play in other&#8217;s journeys.
