The Mizell paragraph:

Mizell Stewart III, USA TODAY Network senior executive, Bowling Green State University: "I know that many of you struggled financially. You weren’t at your best in the classroom. You dealt with crazy family relationships. Some of you have health issues that will dog you long into the future. ... A couple of you, like me, made poor life choices. No one did it to you. You did it to yourself. ... The trajectory of your life will be determined less by what happens to you and more about how you respond to whatever the world throws your way. ... Your life story will ultimately be defined by how you overcome adversity — how you climb out of the valley — than what you accomplish at the peak."
