The White Coat Ceremony

It was so exciting to see Ryan get his white coat. I did not get to see much of the actual ceremony because my Lilly did not see the value in sitting and being quite. We did get to see Ryan walk across the stage and have his coat placed on him. He had the biggest grin on his face. Right when Ryan was walking across the stage Lilly started screaming "Dada, Dada." The whole audience began to chuckle. I was a little embarrassed but it was really cute. Lilly has become very attached to Ryan. She cries every morning when he leaves. This ceremony just made this whole dental thing seem much more real. I think Ryan totally looks like a dentist. After the students have all received there white coats they recited "The Dental Student's Oath". The oath indicates the "student's intention and willingness to assume the obligations and responsibilities of their chosen profession". Well it was a great evening. I am finally feeling a little more settled here in Milwaukee. I can't believe how quickly I am figuring out how to get everywhere.
