The Story Behind This Quote
In one of the most unconventional commencement speeches, undergraduate political science major Anthony Corvino championed the 'average' people — those who aren't in the limelight, who don't have genius-level achievements to point to. Rather than pretending everyone in the audience was destined for greatness, Corvino celebrated the quiet, steady impact that ordinary people make every day. His humor-filled speech reminded graduates that you don't need to be exceptional to change the world around you.
