Thomas' White Coat Ceremony

In September Thomas had his white coat ceremony. Basically it shows that you are starting your dedication to serving others. They are starting to see mock patients at school so it seems to correspond with that as well. Kind of like a commencement ceremony but at the beginning of his second semester. Also, I haven't posted this on the blog yet but we got word back on a scholarship Thomas applied for through the National Health Service Corps and... HE GOT IT!!!! This is such a relief because it means all of his tuition, books, and school expenses will be paid for (which would have amounted to over $100,000!) Plus they give us a living stipend each month that will basically cover our rent. Such an honor and a blessing! In return he commits to serving two years in an under served area or with an under served population after graduation. We feel like we won the lottery!!!
