We've got to hand it to Elin Nordegren. Not only did she earn her bachelor's degree in psychology with a 3.96 GPA, the Swedish-born former model also delivered a commencement speech on Saturday that was as inspiring and self-aware as it was funny.
"When I entered my student advisor office in the fall of 2005 I was 25 years old and had just recently moved to America. I was married without children.

"Whatever obstacle I was facing at the time, your stories and sharing helped me put things in perspective."
