Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is the upside with Jordan, a dose of good news.
Because it's a big world out there. It's commencement season
and most graduates in their families tend not to remember
the commencement speeches or the speakers who gave them. But
not necessarily the case this year at the University of Maryland,
where a very memorable commencement speaker, one Kermit the Frog,
took to the podium, thrilling the crowd with corny jokes,
(00:23):
a little bit of song, and some sage advice.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It's important to stay connected to your loved ones, stay
connected to your friends, and most of all, stay connected
to your dreams, no matter how impossible, ain't seen. The
truth is, dreams are how we figure out where we
want to go, and life is how we get there.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Kermit, of course, the beloved creation of University of Maryland
alum Jim Henson, who graduated in nineteen sixty. Kermit the
Frog made quite the connection. And that's the upside with Jordan.
