Welcome to our new home!


When we first stepped into our new home, we knew that it was the end of our amazing summers.  But what we didn't know was that it was the start of a new adventure - an adventure that we would take together, as a roommate team.  

One was from Delaware, 
Three were from Maryland. 

Different backgrounds, 
Different professions, 
And different aspirations, 
What would the new year hold for us? 

First to arrive was My-Linh, 
Coming from her southern travels.  
Starting her first year of training
To become that country doctor
But secretly training to be a swing dancer.  

One by one, the rest of us entered our new homes
Greeted by the happy welcome sign created by My-Linh. 

Next came Vy, 
Fresh off the plane from the Caribbeans,  
Following long summer months of research in charm city.  
It feels like infamous 2nd year of pharmacy school has come rather too soon,
Oh me oh my what will the next year hold?  

Then swings in Rosie, 
From a summer filled with travels in China, child-sized patients, 
And occasional dancing in heels. 
Second year of medical school looming around the corner, 
May the odds be in her favor.  

And finally to complete the crew comes Polly, 
The star athlete from the northeast. 
With her fun filled post graduation summer, 
Complete with weddings and travels all over the state, 
And a little bit of work on the side, 
She says goodbye to Delaware to start a new life.  

The four different planets, 
Who's orbits finally collide, 
They decided to explore the new galaxy together, 
Side by side.     
 
And so the adventures begin.
