      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.

      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.

          Fairly certain that Mother Theresa wasn’t suggesting that people should buy off a bunch of politicians with political donations, get a patronage job at the Department of Education, and then do a piss poor job at it.

          Mother Teresa would be ashamed of you quoting her since you don’t embody or live anything she stood for.

          Betsy Devos: “And what you do now is up to you. It’s not up to your parent’s. “ You would think the secretary of education would know the difference between a plural and a possessive.

          I will be negative every time I see a post from that bitch. I never hated anyone until this administration and I may hate her the most! She has said her main goal is indoctrinating our children and if your on board with that you can kiss my ass too!

          Perhaps you could find some such students and families in the underperforming schools you refuse to visit. Until you do that and really hear them, you’re denying that service to them.

          Only you, our highly qualified Secretary of Education, could screw up a message in this manner. Nicely done, Madame Secretary. Private schools served you well. "Parent's"? #UNQUALIFIED
