As I addressed the 2018 graduating class of @avemariauniv this morning, I reflected on graduates from all across the country. God gave each of us unique talents and we can choose what to do with them. However, we should not bury them in the ground. I urge you to go for greatness.
I want to focus on a key component of life that’s at the core of what it means to be an American: service. Public service isn't self-service. It's about serving others. For me, it’s the moral obligation to expand educational opportunities for *each* and *every* child.
No matter your anticipated profession, each of you has the potential to make a profound difference for others.pic.twitter.com/YFxMphljj3
America is the most prosperous nation on the face of the earth, and it’s also the most generous. But that strong tradition isn’t just passed along from generation to generation in the blood stream. It’s taught. It’s learned. It’s shared.
What will you do to put your newly gained skills to work in service of others? Now is the time to start doing it. And what you do now is up to you. It’s not up to your parent’s. It’s not up to your teachers. It’s up to you. As Mother Teresa said, "Find your own Calcutta."pic.twitter.com/RwrJVwUOpr
As you venture out into the world, know that your life won’t always unfold according to plan. Anticipate being called to something different, to something unexpected. Don’t avoid a change in course, an alternate path. Don’t fear the unknown. Embrace the mess.
Congratulations to the class of 2018! I wish you all the best as you embark on the next step of your journey.
Your talent is not having a single clue what you're doing
She's a perfect example of the phenomenon in which people who are just incidentally wealthy (like through inheritance) truly believe they are better and smarter than others, and that they truly earned what they have.
Bury them in the ground?
What a choice of words.
Like the children at school after school you have failed to protect?
Turn against the @NRA and do something for the kids you are charged with protecting.

Will you be addressing any public schools?!
she doesn't know what those are.
You know less about education than anyone who has held this post in the past. You are an embarrassment and a joke, living proof that anyone with enough money can buy themselves a cabinet post in this administration, regardless of qualifications.
Fund public schools. @BetsyDeVosED #EducationMatters
Can’t go for greatness if schools are underfunded and teachers have to get three jobs just to get by. How about investing some of your great personal fortune to the cause? Of course not
What are you even saying? If you choose to speak in metaphor then make at least one connection, please.
It's like she had all these metaphors on a legal pad and she just arranged them and stuck them together.
Gee, Bets... what's your talent because it's not supporting public education nor protecting the civil liberties of ALL students. Maybe you should find a job that actually embraces whatever talent you think you posses.

This is the only type of school that would ever ask you to address their graduating class. You're a disgrace and embarrassment to all of us in education.
Then why do you enact policies that bury the dreams of the non-rich?
