Rewind to 1986 and I am the first in my family to graduate from college right here in Elon University Alumni Gymnasium and then on to Campbell University School of Law. My pride then is unmatched by the overwhelming pride I feel today watching my son, Chance Bartenfield, walking across this very same stage earning his Juris Doctorate degree graduating from Elon University School of Law. Chance is a lawyer today.
I have only one speck of advice for you today, Chance. There will be more… Today you are blessed with an ocean full of integrity. Never, never compromise a single precious drop of it.
