Dixie C. Dallas, DPM University of Tennessee, Knoxville B.S. Biology Looking back over this difficult journey. I see that I have so much to be thankful for. Mom and Dad. you have been with me every step. The emotional and financial support (not to mention the Omaha Steaks), arc debts that I can never repay. You managed to keep at a distance and allowed me to make my own decisions and become more of my ow n person. Thank you for being my unwavering supporters. To my brother: I had to prove you wrong. You said when I moved up here that I wouldn’t last two weeks. Well, look at me now! 1 hope you have your airline ticket because you arc coming back to Philly! To my friends at SSJ: Thank for putting up with the constant complaints about tests, early mornings, and clinic. Also, thank you for feeding me every Saturday. Most of all. (Jenny and Gennifer), thank you for listening to me drone on about the endless saga that is my life. Everyone at SSJ is like a second family to me and I am very grateful to have met you all. Believe me. I will never forget some of my experiences here. To clinic group 8: Was there ever was a more random group of people put together in a group? But. admit it. through spilled coffee in the hospital (and in the jeep), Dunkin Donuts runs, multiple arguments, and despite losing a member, it was kind of fun. huh? To the class of 2004: Thank you for willingly accepting me as a stray from the class of 2003. I have enjoyed the time I have spent with you and only w ish I could have gotten to know some of you belter Congratulations to you all. and I wish you the best. Dixie C. Dallas,
