The editorial “Seattle schools show heart in honoring graduates with grit” (June 30, Opinion) is a vital learn as we wrestle with monetary disparity between the billionaires and people deeply in want. Digging oneself out of hardships and challenges requires true grit, particularly amongst our younger college students.
Elizabeth Palma Alvarado’s life story of needing to relearn her “excellent life” might have been the story of our household after a mass taking pictures, together with different struggles. Navigating daunting obstacles that final for months or years requires grit that the majority people will fortunately by no means encounter. As a each day reader of The Seattle Occasions, I might like to learn articles on the 72 pupil recipients.
Too many individuals in our society maintain a grudge, believing the reply is a gun or a knife to finish the lives of others. Studying the success of those college students, who’ve been honored for residing a lifetime of objective and overcoming their important hardship, is inspirational. Congratulations to The Occasions, the college District and the honored recipients. Effectively accomplished!
