Graduations of all levels of school are happening all over Southwest Oklahoma. My friend Taira's son graduated from High School just two nights ago. She was a basket case, and had been crying for a week. Believe me, I know just exactly how she felt!
Apparently they do high school graduation a little differently in Taichung, Taiwan. Instead of just throwing on ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ and reading out a list of names, Ming-Dao High principal Albert T. Wang emerges onto a smoke-filled stage dressed in a full Iron Man costume and delivers a speech in not one, but two languages. His message: “Believe in yourself. You are also Iron Man.”
