Graduation Speech

In 2022, the day I announced I was leaving the classroom, the class of 2023 asked me to return the following year to speak at their graduation.

I was humbled that despite my departure, they were requesting one last lecture.

 

This is that speech that provides a better preface to TANGENTS than any other I have written.
