We took our weekly walk through Rollins College this morning. The campus was busy because it's graduation day for the Hamilton Holt School which is an evening and weekend degree program.A group of Holt faculty traditionally chooses an "Outstanding Senior" to speak at graduation. The choice is based on grade point average, service to the community and so on. This morning's speaker was Elin Nordegren.
Don't know her? She's Tiger Woods ex-wife. Ms. Nordegren has been attending night classes at Rollins since 2005. This morning she received a degree in psychology.
I love this. Ms. Nordegren is astoundingly beautiful, astoundingly wealthy and has the ability to be a jet setting celebrity anytime she wants. But she chooses to shun the limelight, mentor foster children, mother her children and go to school.
Happy Graduation Day today, Elin Nosrdegren. And happy Mother's Day tomorrow.
