WLFI-TV and area businesses recognized the valedictorians from area schools at a luncheon Thursday at the University Plaza Hotel in West Lafayette.
It was an honor to be a part of the ceremony, as well as to be in such great company! I was impressed that all the students I spoke with credited their parents for helping them achieve academic success. 13 of the 37 plan on attending classes at Purdue. The others are off to other schools to study things like engineering, education, chemistry and pharmacy.
Most of the students have grown up with blockbuster movies featuring super heroes, like Spiderman, Iron Man and the Incredibles. I told them super heroes do not have to be fictional characters. There are heroes all around us who make a positive impact on people's lives.
Good luck graduates!
