Attorney General Greg Abbott - by William Allan Kritsonis, PhD

Attorney General Greg Abbott – A Model of Success and Determination Attorney General Greg Abbott was the commencement speaker on Saturday, May 10th at Prairie View A&M University. As most people know, Greg Abbott is in a wheelchair. All of us attending the graduating ceremony were captivated by his remarks, professionalism, and physical effort. This was the largest graduating class, over 800, in the history of PVAMU, which was founded in 1868. Greg Abbott greeted each of our graduates with a radiating smile, personal handshake, and called each graduate by their first name. I know this as a fact because I sat in the front row, as one of my students received her doctorate at the ceremony. It was inspiring to see Attorney General Abbott’s physical effort. He moved his wheelchair forward with three arm motions to shake the hand of each graduate, and then moved backwards with the same motions to allow the graduate to retreat from the platform. If my calculations are somewhat accurate, Mr. Abbott made approximately 4,800 movements in his wheelchair, along with personally congratulating each of the 800 graduates by their first names. Attorney General Abbott displayed outstanding listening skills by recalling each graduate’s name and exhibited tremendous physical endurance. His commencement address will be remembered by all of us in attendance for the rest of our lives.
