What achievement are you most proud of so far on your path to graduating from dental school and pursuing oral surgery residency?

"My biggest achievement has been starting an amazing family over the last four years of dental school. I married my soul mate the summer before starting dental school, and we've since brought two amazing children into our world. While I graduated in the top 5% of my dental program, I've been able to raise two amazing young kids with a supportive spouse."
