Happy birthday, Dr. Jill Biden! You’re such a great friend—and even better wife, mom, and grandmother. Thank you for leading with such grace and empathy, and for being so authentically you.

Here’s to more laughing, more singing, and good times in the months and years ahead. 💕

Congratulations, Class of 2021! 🎉

From navigating virtual learning to finding new ways to develop relationships with teachers and classmates—while somehow submitting your assignments on time—you overcame so much this year with grace and humor. You should be incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished.

When I think about how you must be feeling right now, I am reminded of my own experience as a younger woman, just getting started as an adult. The excitement I felt was often accompanied by doubts and worries. I still remember all those questions I kept asking myself. Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Can I do this? Over time, I proved to myself that the answer to all of these questions was “yes.” But I’ll be honest: It wasn't easy to do. And I know that while you’re getting ready to take that next step, so many of you might be feeling some of that, too.

So what I want to say to you is this: In a year when so much of society—so much of humanity—slowed down for a bit, you all pushed yourselves harder. In a year defined by so much difficulty and loss, you never gave up or called it quits. Instead, you studied. You marched. You kept one another safe. And you took those first steps toward building a brighter future not just for yourselves but for all of us.

So I just want you to know that I am so, so proud of you. Because after what we’ve seen this year, I know you will get through whatever life throws at you. Because guess what? Life threw an awful lot at you. And you didn’t blink.

I hope you’ll tell me about your own experiences, too — send me a photo of your graduation day or shout out another graduate using and !

Congratulations again, graduates. I’ll be rooting for you in the months and years ahead. 🎓
