Dear Graduates of the Class of 2010: I bid you congratulations on your accomplishments and sincere wishes for success in all your future endeavors. In this vein. 1 must ask each of you a simple question Have you ever flown a kite? Bear with me a moment before concluding that I've taken a giant step off the deep end. You arc about to leave the artificial womb of academia and enter the real world. I-Ct’s take stock of that world The economy is bad The reimbursement climate for your professional services is already not what you hoped for and Medicare is rattling its sabers about an additional twenty plus percent fee cut. The profession's inclusion in Title XIX is anything but certain Docs any of this cause you anxiety? Yes, there is much uncertainty ahead and much to worry about for some, but not you. You have come a long way during the past four years and. while from day to day it may have seemed that you didn’t leant much. I assure you that you have amassed a formidable array of knowledge and skills, litis is a certainty. I know because I have been tracking your professional development since your first day on campus. You arc well prepared to embark on the next stage of your professional lives and I believe better so than most. 1 will pass along something I learned from Dr. Harvey Lemont years ago: The Chinese character for crisis also represents opportunity. As you go forward, take courage from this fact for it reflects a universal wisdom and you will do well. Oh. that bit about flying a kite. It's a thought often associated with Winston Churchill but one he actually borrowed; the original author is unknown Do not fear the winds of adversity Remember: A kite rises against the wind rather than with it. Again, congratulations and warm wishes for the future. Sincerely. Assistant Dean. Institutional Research and Program Integrity Larry M.

You are all to be congratulated on your accomplishments in reaching the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. This journey that you have embarked upon is not coming to an end, but, is actually just beginning. You will now be more than ever a life-time learner and embrace this fact so that you can go forward into your residency and practice with the most confidence. Always try to do things that would not only benefit your patients but would also benefit your colleagues and you will find that you will reap many rewards. Try to give back to your profession and to your community. Don’t lose sight of friends and family.

Attitude, to me. is more Important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. Anant P.

I knew then that some day we would be calling you Doctor. Very early in your life Mom and I realized that for you the word no was not an option. For that reason, we had to carefully choose the way we reasoned with you. I admit, I was not very good at it. Thank God that most of your choices were good ones and that, “He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. You have become a great sister, a loving wife, a caring mother and a dear friend and a wonderful daughter. We can not be more proud of you nor could we love you any more than we do!
