Jill Biden made an appearance yesterday at the graduating ceremonies for students at Delaware Technical Community College.

A former professor at the institution the wife of the former Vice President told the students that if they can walk “on this stage” they can do anything.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that the ages of the graduates yesterday ranged from 19 to 70.

Biden told the graduates that she was an advocate for greater access to community colleges because they provided such opportunities for students.

She also urged the students not to be discouraged when they get out into the world and that they should turn away from naysayers and self-doubt.
