Looks Like You've Made It

You have struggled, cried, kicked & screamed.
Now it seems those little things.
Determination, perserverance, mastering tunnel vision & realizing your dream.
These are the things that made it all possible.
As you have learned these traits, they have enabled you to become the best you can be.
There are so many who will never touch all of the experiences you've encountered thus far, this is what makes you rich, while being so poor.
Your character will consist of a lot of grit.
A large will to tolerate the ignorant.
The road not taken is in the past, for now you are in the upper class!
Never forget who you called upon through every test, compositions and clinicals. He will bring you through even as the school fades. Keep him in the mix.
As everyone is totally proud of you, think more of the example you have set for others. With all the obstacles, your course has been shakey but you have come out on top as a person.
We hope soon, you will come to the reality of how very special you are. Take time to reflect at what all has gone on in the past 4 years and celebrate to the best of your ability.
We could not be more proud of you, than we are today.

Love
