After 4 years of long nights, little sleep, and lots of stress throughout medical school, Ashlyn officially became a doctor!
The ceremony was fairly quick, and we had the best seats in the front to watch our girl walk across the stage. Here she is patiently waiting her turn for her row to be called up.
Out of 160 graduates, the M's were finally called to line up.
Here's her announcement.....
She was robed by her favorite faculty member and mentor, Dr. Cannon.
Just look at that smile!!! Her dream since she was little finally came true! 💙
There were lots of pictures with classmates, and rightly so! Much to celebrate! Ashlyn received two outstanding awards among her class, one in family medicine and the other in internal medicine.
A pic with on of her close friends, Katrina.
Then waving goodbye in gratitude for their medical school.
Katrina brought big blow up letters for the pictures.
Lots of extended family came up for the graduation, including her godmother and cousin.
Luckily we had a photographer nearby to capture the whole family who came up for the occasion.
Then a picture with just her beau, Alex.
As the hot sun prompted their layered robes to drop, these three amazing women posed like models. Here are Dr. Ashlyn (surgery), Dr. Eliane (radiation oncology), and Dr. Cindy (OB/Gyn).
