These past four years have been the most difficult of my life. Yet, they have also been extraordinarily rewarding, i I thank God for allowing me the privilege of attaining a professional school education. I have been granted more than the degree of D.P.M.; I have been blessed by the opportunities I have received along the way. And in remembering the principles outlined in the Hippocratic Oath and Podiatrist's Creed, I will use graduation as an opportunity to continue the race marked out for me. 50 iM!

Mais surtout, a moi-meme, je me suis prouvte que si j'y crois vraiment, je peux tout accomplir (ou presque). Toutes ees anntos n'ont pas ete faciles, mais j'ai atteint mon but et j'en suis fi re. Bravo! Los copains, on v est arrives. Ce fut tres agreable de vous avoir a mes cotes pendant ces 4 annees. Bon succds tous. Merci a mes amis de toujours, Jerome, Sonia, Patrice. C'est agreable de savoir qu'au moins notre amiti6 n'est pas quelque chose qui change avec les annees et la distance. J'ai d£cid£e de rinir par ce remcrciement, car c'est habituellement la derniere chose que l'on dit que les gens se rapellent. Alors, voici ce qui me tient le plus coeur. Sans vous deux, Nicole et Denis, je n‘v serais jamais arrivee ct ce sous tous les aspects. Vous etes mes parents, mes amis et mes plus fideles supporteurs. Ce dont je suis la plus contente et la plus surprise, c'est de voir h quel point vous etes tiers de moi. Le reve va se continuer avec vous deux dans ma clinique et j'ai vraiment hate. |e m'en reviens cftez-moi! Comme mot de la fin : Enfin, j'ai finiiiiiiiiiiii !!!! Bye guys! See va!

On the highest points of happy times, Two sets of footprints could she see; She nodded to herself and thought, “The Lord is always with me. ” Troubled, then she noticed In times of sorrow and strife, There was only one set of footsteps Passing through her life. “Lord, ” she whispered sadly, “So much trouble I have seen, During times I’ve needed you most, Where, oh where have you been?” yu Then she heard the Lordys voice saying, “Always know that this is true, During all your saddest days It was I who carried you. ” WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

I told you whatever you decided, I’d be right here for you. All the years of studying and taking tests. Trying to stay awake, when all you wanted to do was rest. t. I never once doubted you’d go all the way. To get to this moment, your graduation day. Words cannot express just how proud of you I am. Even if it means being known as Steven, Dorctor Joyce’s man. Congratulations to a very special son on a very special accomplishment. We are very proud of you. Love, Mom, Dad, Sheri i ° r i i - 1 4 To a wonderful and loving husband : Honey, you did it! All of your hard work has paid off. I am very proud of you and all that you do. Love, Cynthia Gordon E. Fosdick, DPM Gordon's a man with a Samson-like plan He invented when he was a tyke. When people would ask him what type of a task For his life's work he thought he would like. Young Gordon would say, if I have my own way. Then a surgeon and bishop I'll be! To help humankind is a work that I find As a challenge that interests me. His fam'ly and friends said his choice sure portends Some confusion in terms of his time. He quickly replied, and then on the side. With karate. I'll teach fighting crime. But soon he was told that most bishops are old. And surgeons can start when they're young. So today it is now, and our Gordon's found how. As a young man, to climb the first rung With his new DPIVI, from the creme de la creme Of all medical schools in the field. As a surgical resident, mastery says: Be as sharp as the scalpel you'll wield! 'ViotH. 'Dud. ( con c. S6evU and TtfatzAeu Robson S. Spinola, DPM cA Comc Ttue Once upon a time, there was a prince whose dream was to become a doctor. But in order for him to be one, he had to travel through a long deep forest and conquer many rough courses. For him, this was a challenge and so he started his journey full speed ahead. Along the way, he battled with many obstacles and competitions, but that didn't stop him from continuing on. He knew he had the strength and courage and NOTHING was getting in his way. With the belief in God and the faith he has in himself, he finally saw the light at the end of the forest. He knows that he has succeeded but,a longer journey aw'aits him.
