What would you do?

Came across this video today and got me thinking how a society would change if money wasn't a controlling factor in being able to survive...

Take some time out of your day, watch the video and then ask yourself: would you be working towards the same goal as you are now? Would you spend your day doing the same thing? if not, is there some way to incorporate that passion into your life now?

I know it isn't that simple, but just think about it.

Rumors

I haven't been back online in a while because of studying for Step 1 but I do continue to follow the activity on the blog as best as I can. Unfortunately, recent comments on this blog seem to be focused more on Saba's credibility rather than responses to my journey. This has led me to make the decision to monitor comments. I've been trying to let this space be an open forum and not delete any comments received however, this blog is supposed to be about sharing my experiences on going to medical school in the caribbean and hopefully help those who are in the same predicament I was two years ago. I do not want to be spending my time debating which rumors are true or how good of a school Saba really is.
I have decided that I will be deleting any comments regarding the credibility of Saba University or of any rumors going around... Everyone has their own opinion and experience. Sometimes a caribbean medical school is the only option you have left. And if that is the only way to do what you have dreamt of doing all your life, then that is the road you will have to take.

So, please, for any discussions on credibility, rumors, attrition rates etc go to medical school forums like valuemd.

I will still be happily answering questions about Saba, if they are appropriate. I'm sorry that it has come to this but I hope those of you who have been following my adventure continue to do so.

To end on a more positive note, here is a little inspiration for the rest of the week...
