Evan graduated college and was voted Class Marshal to lead the graduates. I popped this photo of him at the moment he came out and lead the procession. He was wearing the color-banner of an international student (he wasn’t one). I asked him why he put that on— and he said, “it’s because I am international in my heart”. I was so proud of him at this moment of success and accomplishment.
