Commencement Day

From Touchstone Magazine, July / August, 2010

Here, dear Readers, is the commencement speech I gave to a large group of our fellow homeschoolers in 2010, then published in the July / August issue of Touchstone Magazine, that same year. I’m sure you’ve all heard quite a few commencement addresses and valedictories — but this one, I hope, you will find much different from those, and striking to the heart and the soul of the event.
