With education, former Amish go far
At Emma Miller’s graduation from San Diego State University, the president asked the graduates to stand and thank their parents. All Miller could do was sob. Her parents were not in the crowd.
Miller grew up in an Amish home. The Amish, who do not send their children to school beyond the eighth grade, disapprove of higher education. Miller left home at age 16 and pursued more education without any support from her family.
