A Longview High School spokeswoman told the Longview News-Journal that graduates normally receive diploma holders during commencement ceremonies and that the actual diplomas must be picked up later. He responded to receiving his diploma with one word: “Proof.”McConaughey lives in Austin, Texas. He told the new graduates that he had succeeded because he followed his heart, and that they should guard and follow theirs.
