New Home...New Life...New Hope

Not everyone is given a second chance.  I thought I was well on my way to glory during my first try until destiny intervened and pulled me back to the ground.  But I guess it was God's way of letting me realize things and spending time with people which I have forgotten and disregarded in my pursuit of success.  It was a life-changing and humbling experience, and for that no regrets whatsoever for what has transpired during the past year.

From what I initially perceived as "One step forward, two steps backward," I built on some positivity to turn it into "Fall once, stand up twice."  It became my motivation to move on.  Although the odds may have been against me, I still pursued what I like myself to be for the rest of my life.  I was thinking that nothing will be lost if I try again.  If ever I succeeded,maybe it was really destiny;  if i failed again, then maybe God wants me to be anywhere else. 

But I guess Neurology is my destiny and to be a Neurologist is what God wanted of me.   After battling it out in a crop with 9 other heavily-credentialled and exceptionally-talented individuals, I was fortunate to make the cut.  And so starting January 2011, I'll be a Neuro resident once again, now in one of the best institutions in the country. My new home is a place I never thought would be this great. Like what I've said not everyone is given a second chance, and I will make it sure that this time it won't slip away.

I have to thank my senior residents and the consultants for trusting my talents. I look forward to working with these superb bunch of excellent,free-spirited individuals who proved that work need not be so much of a stress.  I also have to bow to my former mentors and colleagues for without them, I would not have made it through.  A great deal of the knowledge and skills which I armed myself and used in this process came from them.  Though I may now be in a new institution and loyalties may shift in the days to come, my respect, gratitude and admiration to my old mentors will never change.

Time to move on now.........
