Editorial Congratulations to the Class of 2019

Graduation Day is one of the few occasions that brings a smile to the faces of everyone in a community, regardless of whether they know a graduate. It is an occasion when all of us share in the joy -- and pride -- that graduation day marks in the lives of our young people. For older folks, graduation day recalls a time when we too, were young and full of life. However, graduation day marks a bittersweet moment for parents, friends, family, and teachers, as well the grads themselves. As befits every turning point in our lives, it is a time of mixed emotions of joy, sadness, and reflection. Although the graduates and those close to them are looking forward to the exciting future that lies before them, they also will be looking back on the passing of their carefree youth and the experiences that have shaped their lives to this point. The young women and men who receive their diplomas no longer are considered “youths” in the eyes of the world. They are full-fledged Op-Ed adults who have been deemed ready to assume all of the rights -- and responsibilities -- that adulthood implies. The graduates, most of whom have turned 18, can vote, run for Investing in our next generation public office, enter into contracts, be tried fully as adults in the crim- inal justice system, and fight and die for their country.
