Lat night was the annual banquet, and I enjoyed it, as always. Of course, the dessert buffet is a highlight, but more important to me is the pride I feel for my students who are having their hard work recognized and appreciated. Too often in life, our failures and shortcomings are magnified and broadcast, especially in the digital media age, and our successes are ignored, taken for granted, and minimized. I heartily applaud all students who are working hard and progressing in their educations!
