Congratulate Kelly, on your graduation.
After four years of studies, you graduated from Dental school!
Now you have your license to practice
But you prefer more training in your sub-specialty.
You'll spend two more years in school
And you'll accumulate more astronomical debts!
This week, you made a trip to Philadelphia.
You visited new school with your mother and brother.
Next two years you will be a resident at Penn Dental school
To receive special training in orthodontics.
You'll pay expensive rent these years.
Fortunately, your classmate shares one half of the rent.
So now, you can put your mind to study hard.
Two years from now, you'll graduate from this ivy school to enter your practice.
Thank you for visiting me and your aunt.
As a small gift to you, this poem is our congratulations.

MỪNG KELLY TỐT NGHIỆP BÁC SĨ NHA KHOA
Mừng thay cháu đã ra trường
Bốn năm đèn sách, xong trường Nha khoa.
