Here’s a brief rundown of some of the least motivational moments from Sasse’s take on a tradition that’s typically meant to have the opposite effect. Anyone named Jeremy who was watching Sasse’s address might not have appreciated the bit about murder hornets. To further emphasize that students are graduating during a volatile time, the senator brought up the invasive species of hornet and joked that an insect with that name would surely adjust to its label.
“Every now and then the rope is a metaphor, but honestly most of the time it’s just a big rope and you have to climb it,” he said, apparently forgetting that the graduates had already completed the years of schooling in which literal rope-climbing in a gymnasium was likely to happen. “If you don’t get that joke, talk to your mom and dad, back in the day when we were a lot fitter than you people are, we used to have to climb ropes all the way up to the ceiling of the gym all the time.
“Let’s be honest, at the start of this, most parents thought we would be visionary math teachers changing the world. But after about two weeks, we all just decided to default into gym teachers.”Many of the graduates Sasse was addressing were likely unsure of what the next few years hold for their academic or professional careers. Some may have been accepted into college or university programs, even perhaps doubting their choices considering the economic environment they are commencing into.
