I actually really liked the president’s convocation speech. I didn’t think his tone was too casual. He was talking to a bunch of young people (and of course the faculty), so I think his content and tone were appropriate. I thought it was admirable that he called out certain students and commended them in front of a school-wide audience. He gave the current students like me, a standard to look up to, and not just the legacy of the past. My favorite part of the speech, however, was when President Ribeau compared himself to music, a color, a book of the Bible, and a leader. I liked this a lot, so I decided to do my own, a little differently.
If I were music, I would be Big Band.
If I were a color, I would be bright yellow.
If I were a book, I would be “On the Way Down” by Nicholas Sparks.
If I were a leader, I would make promises I could keep.
