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.
Then stop working to defund public education.
Then why are you proposing cutting student aid that makes it possible for these students to go to college?
Did you say moral? That's interesting coming from this administration.
You are doing a fantastic job, Betsy. Keep you head held high. W, of the MAGA persuasion, have your back, GF.
Well said, School Choice!!
We know how you really feel. "Each" and "Every" refers to wealthy white children who can afford private schools. #institutionalracism
What a contradictory sentiment. Serving others and the mass would be strengthening public education.
Betsy, I yearn 2 post something, anything, that reflects favorably on ur Public Service. Please tell us what exactly U have accomplished as Sec. of ED 2 “expand educational opportunities for *each* and *every* child” ???? Educational opportunities have NOT expanded 4 my #dyslexic
*Each- students who are financially able to attend private schools *Every- students who are fortunate to attend wealthy and affluent public schools
So you'll keep the public service student loan forgiveness program? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds great but students who are denied FAPE don’t have a chance to participate when they can’t read because Ed laws are ignored. @sdschools is run by the Legal department who supports employees not students who are shamed & punished. @BeKindDreamBig
You left out “and make a massive profit from their student loans.” #UnfitForOffice #RESIGN #BuyAJobBetsy
I’m trying to expand educational opportunities for my students. You can help support my classroom athttp://www.donorschoose.org/mrsspires
It doesn’t matter if you serve in a not-for-profit for over 15 years living in poverty for most of that time, yet the US Department of Education takes the tax refund of someone who has dedicated her life to educating youth living in violence in Chicago. Sad.
