Kermit the Frog keeps sincere and stimulating start speech at the University of Maryland

Kermit the Frog went up to the 2025 start ceremony of the University of Maryland and gave the degree class a moment to remember, one who was so felt and stimulating.

With that family green face and the humble wisdom, Kermita reminded graduates that life likes Muppet’s showIt is better if shared with the people who really get you.

Why did Kermit keep the start speech in Maryland? Jim Henson, the legendary creator of Kermit, and his wife Jane, were both proud former students of the University of Maryland and fans of Maryland Terrapins. So for Kermit, this was not just another matter. It was a return home.

Kermit told students:

“Now there is no guarantee that the show is always good or that you turn off without hitches or does not have its cuts. But the show must go on and if you are with your people, you will not have to do it alone. Because life is not a solo act.

“No, it is not. It is a big piece of delicious ensemble, especially when you are with your people. These are friends who could have for life and there will be many others to collect along the way.”

He continued to solicit the kindness and connection with respect to the Cutthroat competition:

“So, while you prepare yourself to make this big leap in real life, here is a little advice if you are willing to listen to a frog. Rather than jumping on someone to get what you want to consider to stretch your hand and make the leap side by side because life is better when we jump together …

“Because if I know something it is important to stay in touch with your loved ones, stay in touch with your friends and above all stay in touch with your dreams. No big, it doesn’t matter how impossible they are, the truth is that dreams are as we understand where we want to go.”

In an era in which so many starting speeches are confused together with corporate jargon and polished clichés, Kermit’s words felt personal and sincere. This is Muppet’s magic. Under the eyes in felt and Googly there is a philosophy that has never gone out of fashion … the issues of the community, dreams count and also in the casino, the show must continue.

For a graduation class standing on the edge of uncertainty, it turns out that one of the most reassuring voices that could hear was not a billionaire or a politician, it was a frog that reminded them to jump together.
