Visiting the Island

On the 20th my Dad and I are going down to visit the island. I can not wait to visit the campus and look at housing. Another girl starting in January and I have decided to get a 2 bedroom apartment. I had been praying that God would find the right roommate for me and the timing was perfect. Tropical Storm Rafael hit St Kitts pretty bad last week so I'm sure the island will be a little different than normally but hopefully it will still be a relaxing vacation.

The beginning

Hello friends and family!

On June 14, 2012, I was accepted to the University of Medicine and Health Sciences in St Kitts. St Kitts is a small island in the Caribbean (see pic where the red box is). I was originally accepted for the September class but me being a planner needed much more time in order to relocate my life to another country. I decided to defer my acceptance to January.


Not only did I get accepted into medical school but I also got accepted at Walden University for a Masters program. I began my Masters in Health Care Administration in September and all classes are online. I am continuing to work full time at St Luke's Hospital in the ER while completing my classes. Come January, I will continue to take one Masters class a semester while I'm completing my Doctorate of Medicine. I will complete both degrees in May 2016.

I can not wait for this journey ahead. I know it will be a challenge so many prayers and encouragement are welcome!
