Optometry students should strongly consider the impactful benefits of a sub-specialty residency year. Hear from Dr. Kristin Mohr on her experience as a resident at Vance Thompson Vision. @vthompsonvision

Giannis is a great player and role model. Sports is about putting in the work and effort to win, but also learning how to handle when life doesn’t go your way.
Giannis is outstanding: “There’s no failure in sports. There’s good days, bad days, some days you are able to be successful, some days you are not, some days it is your turn, some days it’s not. That’s what sports is about. You don’t always win.”

Love this.
Michael Jordan was once asked what he thought his best skill was. He didn’t say it was his ability to dunk from the free throw line or his scoring ability. His answer: “I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.” The easier you are to lead, the further you’ll go.
WHAT A DAY AT @HardRockStadium!! @Tua 🙌 #FinsUp
