I gave this Commencement Speech Sunday at Cal Berkeley
Lalo Alcaraz Commencement Speech
for UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design, May 17, 2015
Hello Wurster Hall Class of 2015!
Good evening graduates and long suffering families.
CONGRATULATIONS PARENTS! YOU’RE ALMOST FREE.
And graduates, it won’t cost you anything: how about the loudest most tremendous cheer for your families?!
Good, NOW this is sounding like the Chicano/Latino graduation! Next year, may I suggest mariachis?
Mijo: I like your new home, pero no fierro on the windows?
Mijo:
I’m proud of you. This home is very big with hardwood floors, even in the kitchen! As you know, I prefer tile with a rosy color, como la cathedral in Zacatecas. The country kitchen is very impressive. It’s not like any country kitchen como en mi rancho, but these are new times and a new country; And the abundance of wood paneling does look impressive. It is cedro? Still, how can you reclantar tortillas on an electric stove? Your ama is already confused by it. Y eso? To store wine? Pero tambien to store some Herradura? Esta cocina has windows everywhere! Have you thought about putting fierro on them?
