It is a dream that has come true for you and your family. It also gives you the opportunity to recognize the many people in your life who have helped you along the way to fulfill this dream. As you enjoy your graduation and enjoy the sense of accomplishment that rightfully goes along with it. keep in mind that the nature of a profession is such that it requires you to consistently upgrade your skills and maintain your knowledge in order that you can provide your patient with the best possible care. The graduation ceremony is one of great dignity because it confers upon you not juu rights and privileges, but also significant responsibilities It also requires from you a degree of compassion and empathy that may lie tested from time to time This ts a great profession! We arc fortunate to be able to do something that benefits people tremendously, that tests our intellectual skills, and allows us the kind of personal interaction with patients that is truly fulfilling. I wish every success in the future. 1 wish you happiness in jour profession, happiness in your personal life and the ability to blend the two together successfully. Kieran T. Mahan. DPM Dr. Mahan
