Bravo and a standing ovation. Loved what she said about having integrity, being true to yourself, and following your passion, and that it took losing everything to discover her real purpose. A very engaging speech, indeed.

I thought it was a fabulous speech too
Her ability to speak from the heart about some things that were difficult and combine humor to her points is masterful!

Ellen!
What a wonderful, inspirational and memorable beginning for all those young people starting out in the world…
someone on that campus needs to be applauded for inviting her to do the “common-cement” sppech…thanks to them we all benefit…
way to go for all future grads…
inspired

So true Gamy
Sometimes we think people who are successful are lucky and have it easy. We don’t always know how they got to where they are today.
