Everyone has a story....some stories are unique, some interesting, some triumphant. Those are the stories that the media will be looking for in this graduation season. Among the La Salle grads are:
A wife and husband who were named the top students in their programs!
A man who lost almost everything to a gambling addiction went to La Salle and is now an addictions counselor.
An 83-year old man is receiving an associate's degree.
Here's a story that was deemed "not unique" by a newspaper: this student, a senior with a double major, was named the top student in both programs, wrote an application that resulted in a $20,000 grant from Nike; was the first student two win a new national award from a national trade group in their field, won numerous other awards and had a GPA of 3.9 plus....That was not unique enough to merit a story about them. Best I can hope for is a few lines in a column. I know the rules are different when it comes to graduates and their stories: the three stories above would all trump the "younger" student story.
