Kermit encourages students to “leap together” in commencement address

Kermit the Frog recently delivered a commencement address to University of Maryland graduates. Kermit emphasized that everyone has a place and that each person should embrace their own uniqueness. He said that even though the “show” may not go perfectly, having connections with others means that you do not have to keep going alone. Kermit also provided advice on taking “this big leap into real life,” encouraging students not to use others as lily pads to get ahead. “Rather than jumping over someone to get what you want, consider reaching out your hand and taking the leap side by side, because life is better when we leap together,” said Kermit.
