Anniversay of Sorts....

So today marks the day that I received my papers to become an official resident of the UK. I remember being so elated at the news that I would soon be heading off to London, and finally living out that little dream I had tucked away so long ago. A year later I am sitting in my London flat still elated at this amazing opportunity that I have been given. My year in London has been so amazing. It has been filled with ups and downs, but mostly ups. I have met the most amazing people in the world. Have made friendships that will last a life time, and through this all I have become a better person. I have had the opportunity to learn so much here not just at LSHTM, but also through my travels. I have seen the world in my time in London, and I am not sure I would have ever been able to otherwise. I feel very fortunate for this opportunity and look forward to many happy returns to London after I say goodbye, because I do not think London and I will ever say goodbye we will only say farewell and until next time because London to me is my second home, and without this opportunity I do not think I would be the person I am today. This experience is mine and mine alone and I am grateful for that, all the missteps and opportunities were all created by me, and I have loved every second of it. So here is to the celebration of the happiest year of my life, and to many more to come, because this is just the beginning of the journey that I call my wonderful life!
