White Coat Ceremony

Well, what we have been waiting for for a very long time has finally arrived. Aaron is officially a student doctor (he even has the badge to prove it!). On Saturday, we attended Aaron's white coat ceremony. It's a ceremony where students don their white coats for the first time symbolizing their entrance into the medical profession. The shorter coat is worn by students and a longer coat is worn by certified doctors. I think it's pretty cool.

Doesn't he look great!?

The guy holding the staff lead the class into the auditiorium. The doctors behind are instructors and staff.

I'm proud of him. He has worked really hard for this. We have worked really hard for this. Congrats Aaron. Here we go! :)

Great pics, Monica, you did a remarkable job capturing the event. We are so proud of all of you, and it is amazing that our son is going to be a doctor. What a big and significant step. The studying will seem to never end, but Aaron seems to enjoy studying medical stuff. Keep on going!
Love, Dad and Mom.

SO exciting! I wish we could have been there to witness the event. Such a big step for you guys. Good luck to you all in adjusting to life without Aaron, or at least Aaron for only a couple hours a day. That will be different...
