grateful to have had the opportunity to work with friendly, thoughtful people,
to have started each day on the job with a chapel service, and to have had
conversations about life and religion almost every day at lunch. I’m going to
miss working at ANC. I hope that one day in the future I can come back for a
second year, or more!
I will be continuing my education next fall, starting Arcadia University’s
doctorate of physical therapy (DPT) program in late August, about a month
after Ivy and I get married. The program is two-and-a-half years, and I am
looking forward to getting started. Ivy and I will be living in Bryn Athyn.
