Attitude of Gratitude…

Mr. Bob Roso received a pleasant surprise this week when a former student showed up to offer thanks. Nathan Vicknair, a 2011 alumnus, stopped in the Jesuit cafeteria, where his former English teacher was on lunch duty, to let him know that his pupil has been accepted to medical school. Vicknair, who received his undergraduate degree at LSU, will be attending the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He starts in July. Roso taught Vicknair when he was a junior and assisted him with the personal essay he used in his medical school application. “I couldn’t have done it without you,” Vicknair shared with a smile. The vote of confidence prompted an even larger smile from his appreciative and extremely proud teacher.
