Recently, my family and I were sitting down for dinner when the topic of my graduation speech came up. My sister chimed in: “Write it about me!”
I jokingly agreed, and I said I would title it after her and talk about how foolish she acts sometimes and the fact that she thinks she is always right, never wrong.
In the countdown to graduation, I suddenly realized, “Hey, that's not such a bad idea.”
Now, here I stand before the class of 2013, the community of family and friends from Bellows Falls and beyond, and somewhere out there is Kathleen Brigid Hodsden.
