Texas mayor encourages grads
By T.S. Last, Albuquerque Journal
Heralded by some as a future president of the United States, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro of Texas delivered an inspiring commencement address to graduates of Santa Fe Community College on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old Castro, who gave the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention last September, told the nearly 400 graduates who attended the ceremony that brain power is the new currency of success in the 21st century.
Castro finished his 20-minute speech by saying that as they walk across the stage to pick up their diplomas and certificates, the students had achieved a great victory.
“It’s a great victory for your family, for this state and for the United States as we create with your brain power, your dreams, and your work, another American century,” he said.
