We’ve Only Just Begun To Learn
I’ll never forget the last week of dental hygiene school at The Ohio State University. It was right before graduation, and we couldn’t wait to head out into the real world. The excitement was over-the-top as my classmates and I shared stories about where we would work, what our future might be, and how we were so glad to finally be finished with school. Alice Cooper’s song, “School’s Out” was a hit tune with the exclamation “School’s out forever!” In fact, someone wrote those words on the blackboard in our locker room. I happened to be there when the chair of our program, Nancy Reynolds Goorey, DDS, walked by. She stopped, looked at the words and said, “Poor babies, they have no idea the learning is just starting.” Truer words were never said.
