And I Made It To Medical College

As a medical student I have many reasons to believe that I am not just another medical student often portrayed as a nerdy, focused, dedicated person. Here is my story of immense struggle, pain, humor and confusion.

“Philosophy! Yes that’s what I want to do after finishing school!”- I announced with pride and an intellectual air, sensing almost a discovery of sorts, discovery of my true passion and interest based on my convictions, ideas and daily thought process. Studying for entrance seemed too much of a headache- with all the cramming involved and so much more! Moreover the idea of studying in a medical college didn’t fascinate me anymore. The reason why I opted for biology in the 11th grade was because I was planning on studying for the premedical tests but I was just 15 then, realizing that I didn’t want to become a doctor but a philosopher at 16 sounded plausible and reasonable to me.

What Is An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (iva)

An individual voluntary arrangement begins with a proposal based on your financial circumstances and how much you are realistically able to afford to contribute towards an IVA, either on a monthly basis or from other assets you may own. The proposal is presented to the court and then to Creditors.

How does it work?

We tell the court the details of your proposal. A meeting of creditors is held, the date of the meeting and details of the proposals being sent to your creditors. Only those creditors who had notice of the meeting are bound by the arrangement, so it is important that you have accurate records of all your creditors’ names and addresses. Otherwise, the arrangement might fail because we cannot contact all the creditors and, therefore, bind them to it.
