The Youngest
New Sweden University becomes the first institution of higher learning to graduate someone so young.
New Sweden University commencement ceremonies included a speech by the head of the class, egregia cum laude Barth Whitestar. At just seven-years-old the black boy had achieved the feat and entered the history books as the youngest graduate of a degree-granting institution.
He went up and spoke with excellence and exactitude. Then, he stepped down from the podium in uproarious applause.
A Channel 30 reporter asked him what it is like to be so young and successful already.
“I know that I have a home on this planet. I’m not a pilgrim or a stranger in this land of riches.”

Sabotage
Lately I’ve been in a funk where everything can be going right. You know I’m in a happy place talking to who knows, I’m at peace and feel like everything is just going great you know. But once I start seeing that everything is going great for some reason I need to sabotage it. I need to sabotage my happiness and what I have going on in my life so no one else is able to do it for me. Does that make sense? Am I the only one who gets this way?
