Today Tyler was presented with his first White Coat and as I sit here and reflect upon our journey to this point... I am moved. Tyler has really had to work hard to get here. As a pre-med student he pulled the grades and passed the tests, volunteered in the community by serving the homeless youth, the uninsured, and assault victims. He spent hours looking over the shoulder of practicing Physicians during reconstruction surgeries and pediatric check-ups, and worked with cardiac rehab patients in the hospital. But the amazing thing about Tyler is that even after being turned down twice he never lost sight of his dream! His passion for medicine grew stronger and stronger over the years and no matter how high the bar was raised he was going to reach it. Tyler has a great passion for life and yes it comes out in every aspect from the iphone, to training for triathlons, and of course his deep desire to be a physician. Tyler, I’m so proud of you! You have truly earned this great privilege and I know your passion will continue to drive you to achieve your goals. I love you so much and I’m so thankful to be with you!Friday, August 22, 2008

Congrats, T! We know you'll do great on the rest of your journey to M.D.
GO TYLER GO!!! If you can;t tell, I was singing that to you. We are very proud of you as well and can't wait for you to finish so that you can as Garret said, "fix him when he gets broken."
Congratulations Brit and Tyler. I'm so happy for you. Love the blog too. Wish we were closer to hang out.
