I never hate on anyone who makes a move in order to try to improve his or her station in life. When I’m asked to do commencement speeches each year, I urge the graduates to feel free to move away from their hometowns if another part of the state, country or the world has something better to offer them. I think too many times, people are shackled by the belief that they’re being disloyal or even bourgeois if they leave their roots when, in reality, you can do better and be better if you’re able to spread your wings and become exposed to different people, places and things.
