Aspiring doctor Varsha Singh grateful as she crosses first hurdle

Varsha Singh

Not many people remember to count their blessings but Varsha Singh does. Just over a week ago she graduated from the University of Guyana (UG) with an Associate Degree in Biology, which is a stepping stone for her to attend medical school. And looking back to a little more than two years ago when achieving this goal seemed bleak, she is grateful.

“It has been a long road. I haven’t gotten to where I want to be yet but I’m so thankful that I’ve gotten into medical school,” the graduate said.

She is a first year medical student at Greenheart University and had passed with distinction when she obtained her Associate Degree in Biology from UG last year. Owing to COVID-19, the graduation ceremony was done virtually just over a week ago.
