| Sophia Ahn | Suyin Lee | Sophie -- It's after Labor Day so technically, WHITE is out! But this is a joyous exception and you should wear your white proudly. Only a few get to wear this badge of honor, and you and your classmates so deserve this. We are happy and honored that we get to share in this ceremony. You have made us proud at every stage in your life. We hope you believe in yourself as we believe in you, as your future patients will.

| Barbara Hernandez | Jim & Georgiann DiCataldo | Dear Barbie - It's so amazing how someone as young as yourself knew what she wanted very early on in life. Coming from another country with your Mom and making a life for yourselves was challenging and brave. You have always shown much kindness from your humble beginnings. The High School Years when you volunteered on the First Aide Squad and continued throughout college; then your years working at Boston Children's Hospital. It was never a surprise to Pop and I that we would now see you in Medical School fulfilling your lifelong dream. The world will be a better place with people like you who always give of themselves, and still remain humble. We know your hard work and compassion for others will make us all proud, but more importantly will help many who will be in need of your services, especially those less fortunate. We love you and wish you much success and happiness as you venture into the next chapter of your file. God Bless you and keep you safe "Granddaughter" XXXXOOOO |

Y por eso no cambiarÃamos ser medicos por nada del mundo. Felicidades por este paso hacia tu futuro. Un abrazo futura colega. |
