Carpe freakin' Diem! I made it!
Jun 20, 2012
I made it! I am successfully settled into my new home here in St. Kitts. Killing it at vet school, getting good grades, and living the good, healthy life I have always wanted.Truthfully, at this very moment, I am living my dream. And as I always say, VSG helped me get here. Really. The life change that came with my procedure gave me the confidence to go after what I have always wanted, to be a doctor of veterinary medicine. The changes helped me hold my head high in my interview, and that confidence helped get me here.
And I love this tiny island, away from the comforts of home. It nurtures the active, adventurous spirit that has been awakened in me. I was a former couch potato (I dreaded the walk from the parking lot to the supermarket for heaven's sake!). Who now takes every single opportunity to be active and healthy outdoors. I am tackling my bucket list- Every day, (besides studying and sitting through science lectures!) I swim in the Caribbean Sea, or snorkel, or paddleboard, or play soccer, or beach volleyball, or hike a volcano, or train at the gym, or lift weights, or run, or go out dancing and let myself be twirled all over the floor by hunky boys, having the guts to salsa when admittedly I have no clue what I am doing, and as of next week, I will be adding SCUBA diving to my exercise repertoire, getting open water certified.
This is MY time. I am here, learning just as much about myself as how to practice medicine.
The new life I have been given is a truly beautiful one, and I am writing a different page of it every day. And you will write yours, too. In your own unique handwriting, as it comes along, on your own very personal journey.
Cheers my friends!
