Closing this Chapter

"And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain" - Frank Sinatra

I left the UK on VS069 for Kingston, Jamaica on September 4, 2008 bringing to a closure a very important chapter in my life. I was filled with mixed emotions! Yes I had developed more than a fleeting relationship with the life and culture of London. I somehow started to miss going out and about in London, discovering new places, food etc. But I miss my new found friends the most, those with whom I had spent one year studying and lyming. I miss walking the corridors of LSE and all the sights and sounds but it was only for a time. I received a very good education at LSE and it was the realisation of a lifelong ambition to study there. My return to Jamaica is filled with possibilities and I will once again see and be in close reach of my family and friends.

I reflect on my time in the UK and must express my heartfelt gratitude to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the provision of the scholarship; my supervisor Dr. Martin Lodge who guided and shaped my education; my family and friends for seeing me through especially my sister Pamella, mom Clarice and dear fiance Andrew (we can now finally focus on our life together).
