was at my college graduation. He was our keynote speaker and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! I grew up watching him (well, his alter-egos) on Sesame Street, so it was such a special experience for him to be there on such an important day in my academic life. After the ceremony I was able to meet and speak with him. He’s such a humble, unassuming and kind man. That day I discovered where Big Bird received those traits. :)
