Derrick started Orientation for school on Monday. He seems to be liking it a lot so far and has already met a bunch of people who seem really nice. There is a group of guys who play basetball all the time after school so he is feeling at home already.
On Friday, the school of dental medicine hosted a professional ceremony where all of Derrick's class was pinned and they all recited an oath promising to use the skills they learn not for their own benefit or selfish interests, but to benefit humanity. Each person in the class came up and received a pin at the ceremony. The video of Derrick receiving his pin is attached.
After the ceremony the school put on a barbecue on the grounds for all of the family members. It was fun to get to know some of the other students and families better. Derrick's school class is a wonderful mix of cultures and backgrounds and they all seem like quality people. I am sure Derrick will be spending a lot of time with all of them. :)
