The DFL convention isn't the only show in Rochester today. The Post Bulletin reports that John Marshall High School will be holding its graduation tonight, and one of the top grads is Sabina Ceric. A remarkable young woman with a great American story who will be starting at Harvard next fall:
. . .Among the litany of her activities, she was editor of the school newspaper; student body president; captain of the speech team; first chair, second violin in the school orchestra and a tutor for students learning how to speak English.
Principal Richard Stirn said the combination of Ceric's skills and drive for learning give her the necessary tools to succeed in life. She has embarked on a remarkable journey, he said from learning English to becoming one of the most involved students in the high school.
"She's almost beyond words," Stirn said. "The world is truly at her fingertips."
When Ceric was 3, her family fled Bosnia's civil war and landed in for Germany. She studied at a private school in the Germany for about seven years before the family moved to Louisiana. They moved to Minnesota soon after. . . .
. . .At Harvard, she plans to major in international relations, aiming for a career in politics. Ceric whet her appetite for politics as a intern for 1st Congressional District Rep. Tim Walz and as the founder for the local chapter of Students for Hillary Clinton.
Go Sabina!
