    Default He Did It!

    Yesterday my son was awarded his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Samuel Merrick University
    in Oakland CA.

    I wrote on a card given to him: "Smiling...Pleased....PROUD! What else can I say?"

    That is OUT-FREAKIN'-STANDING, bro... congratulations to you and your son!!!

    I don't know many people with a PHD... that's an incredible accomplishment.

    (I'm assuming a doctorate is a PHD?)

    Ya gotta be a PROUD DAD... job well done, man... that's awesome.

    A lot different from the 30 year old waste case that thinks he can live in his mommy and daddy's basement forever...

    best news today!
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I did a bit of research on this and offer a clarification.

    DPT is NOT the same as PhD. I am sorry for the confusion. PhD infers a position of research,
    whereas a DPT degree is more of a clinical title:

    He already had his Bachelor's of Physical Therapy (BPT) from Humboldt State University CA.

    Well done. You should be proud!
