Yup...

...I did. I withdrew from school as of May 15, 2009. There were a variety of reasons I could list off as to why I decided to stop my pursuit of a Medical Degree at St. George's University, and I may do that at some later time. Save to say that there was one major change that swayed me: my wife gave birth to our daughter.

About a week after she was born, I went home to visit her. I had an amazing week with her and my wife. I then returned to Grenada (some 3,000 miles away) for the another month of school and final exams. However, my life had fundamentally changed and I had all new priorities.

I completed my final exams, finished my coursework for that 1st full year of medical school, and I wished my classmates well.

I do not know if I will return to that island again, and I know that what I learned there (both in and out of the classroom) will never leave me. I am a better person for having attended SGU and I hope to keep in touch with all the friends I met in Grenada.

Please, still keep in touch. Thank you for the support during my time in school and wish me luck as I move onto the next phase of my life.
