Last Thursday was Andrew's official white coat ceremony where they receive their white coats.He is now officially a student doctor! It is a two hour long ceremony where they give awards and scholarships out to all the students in the school. They also do lifetime achievement awards to past alumni. The President of the school also chooses a couple people from the staff at the school to receive some sort of Employee of the year award (can't remember exactly what it is but something to that effect) and this year the maintenance guy got one of the awards! He was shocked! They then read all the names of the first year students and they have to walk across the stage and shake the presidents hand and get their picture taken, just like a graduation ceremony is what it summed up to be. After your name is read they have to go back to their seat and stand until everyones has been read and they recite the optometric oath. Andrew was 17 of the 124 to be read so he stood pretty much the entire time. The best part of the ceremony was the lady behind me before it started and after Andrew had walked away from me asked if my son or daughter was receiving their white coat! Do I look that old and if I did have a child receiving it I probably wouldn't be pregnant with another!?! The best part was she was dead serious and then she said nothing else after that I think she was a little embarassed! He is still doing great in school and studies very hard!
