and she knows how to get around a problem . Speaking to the students directly is what is of high importance and that is just what she will do. After all the graduates are the first priority .Better the parents are not in attendance, It's all in how you see it, or don't see it. The way I see it, the first lady is also a sharp lady, meaning wise.
