It means so much coming from a class that I have had the honor of getting to know both as students and now as friends. This honor means so much coming from your class particularly as I see you as a group of amazing, intelligent, driven, and compassionate people. I truly have enjoyed spending time with all of you beginning in third year in my classroom to the present time in clinic. You have inspired me over the last two years as I have learned so much from my interactions with you. and I hope you remember what I taught you about verruca and psoriasis! As one of your attendings. it has been a pleasure watching you grow during your third and fourth years into the doctors you have become. I have high hopes for your class as I see you as future leaders (and movers and shakers) of our profession. As one of your colleagues. I am proud to have you as the newest members in my profession.

6t nafe ptcm THE 2016 ACHILLES EDITORS [ Jenna Lohre Rebekah Cherian Dear Class of 2016, We did it! And, what an adventure it has been. We are so honored to have served as your yearbook editors these past couple of years. From parties, to nights out on the town, from celebrating milestones, to interviews in Texas, we have become more than just a group of acquaintances. We have become a family. As your yearbook editors and friends, it has been so much fun collecting and piecing together the many pictures that encompass our time at TUSPM. It tells the stories and memories that our hearts will forever remember with a smile. Our challenge to you moving forward: never stop documenting life. Schedules will get busy and life as a resident will get crazy, but never ever stop recording the special people that have helped get you there, and the special times that have made you the person you are today. Never forget where you have come from, and most importantly, face the future with a courageous certainty, knowing that the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. We hope you enjoy the last yearbook of our academic careers, as we tried to showcase what an amazing ride it's been. Congratulations class of 2016, we did it! Sincerely, Jenna Lohre and Rebekah Cherian
