I just returned from New Beginnings this past weekend, and I have to tell you I am proud to be a part of the Sherman Pride. (I will tell you more about new beginnings in a later post.) Dr. Cordero has told us “things are happening at Sherman,” or “Sherman is creating a buzz in the chiropractic community.” My initial response was skepticism. I am in class Monday through Friday 8-5. How do I know if there is truth behind his statements or not? But this past weekend I had the opportunity to be involved in an event outside of Sherman for chiropractors and see just what he was talking about.
You don’t have to take my word for it. I encourage students to get involved. Go to New Beginnings, Dynamic Essential, and Lyceum. Each event adds to your education. Chiropractic education does not happen just in the classroom. I am proud to be part of a school that understands there is more than just textbook knowledge needed to be a successful chiropractor. Part of being a good chiropractor is having a firm understanding of what you believe. New Beginnings challenged my beliefs. I encourage students to go to these events with an open mind. You will not agree with every word that comes out of every person’s mouth, but that is how you challenge your own thinking and grow.
The chiropractic profession is my future! And what happens to that profession depends on you and me. One DC made a great point. It is ok be in involved in IFCO and ICA. You don’t have to pick one or the other. Be involved in both and you get 2 votes for the future of our profession!
