Its Graduation Time!

Posted by:

Its graduation time! (I specifically refer to high school graduation.) It hardly seems possible that mine was 35 years ago this June. Wow! I was a very focused student and thank goodness I knew exactly what career path to take. Unlike a lot of today’s youth, I knew that I wanted to be a Certified Public Accountant, a C.P.A. But after 2 years at the local junior college and part time work with a C.P.A., that all changed. I still love math and I have the utmost respect for my C.P.A., but my heart was not in it for a life long career. So then I was a bit directionless for a couple of years. I worked in a factory, a creamery actually, and became a state licensed milk pasteurizer. I learned to make ice cream, sour cream, yogurt and milk varieties for Ralph’s grocery company. I liked my job, it had good pay and medical benefits. However, when I received a college graduation announcement from a high school friend, I knew I wanted to do more. At that time I knew I wanted to be a dentist. I went back to college and enrolled in pre-med classes and I continued to work full time. Somewhere in there entered Dr. Anderson, a chiropractor, that treated my lower back. One visit he simply asked if I had ever thought about becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic? Then he invited me to schedule an afternoon to follow him while he treated patients, which I did.

This simple gesture to a young man, searching for a rewarding career, changed my life. I have had the good fortune to make that same offer to various patients and friends. I truly believe in the value of Chiropractic and the role Chiropractic plays in a healthier world. I know I would not be where I am without the kindness afforded to me by Dr. Anderson, who passed away many years ago. If you or someone you care about is considering a health care career and would like to visit my office I would consider it a privilege to be of help.
