I grew up in the city of Georgetown, Guyana. My passion has always been sports, mainly the game of cricket. I attended Tutorial High School in Georgetown, Guyana. After graduation, I set myself goals of achievement for my future life. My first goal was to be an international cricketer by twenty-five and, if that didn't work out, to be a certified accountant. I worked with the Ministry of Agriculture as a veterinary pharmaceutical clerk. So when my cricketing career didn't materialized as expected, I started to concentrate on my accounting career. But a bad experience with the accounting field led me to choose veterinary medicine as an alternative. I was subjected to offers of bribery and corruption, with threats made to my life when I refused, but my faith kept me going. I never took "no" for an answer, and any misfortune never deterred me toward my goal in life. So I would like to enlighten young people with my experiences for them to believe in themselves to achieve their goals in life without falling prey to the numerous predators in today's society.
