For your review today is a quick human interest story on a young man just graduating from university, with a little twist in that he gained approval to wear a sentimental robe that has been in his family some 100 years.
What are your first and second-order throughts on this? "Why bother? Who would want to wear a robe that your great-great grandma crocheted?"
Why you should read this story: They say people don't appreciate history, right? Sewn within are the names and universities of his predecessors, and in this ceremony, tangible history emerges. As the young man feels honored to do this, he is honoring their legacies. These kinds of traditions that take place during -commencement- are always salient, indelible touchstones. What do you emulate? What memories motivate you to make your imprint on blank pages?
