Time out is important for one's overall benefit, an aspiring medical surgeon says.

Jona Toga is a medical student at The University of Fiji in Lau­toka.

Even as a student, the jour­ney has not been easy for the 28-year-old.

He has two Degrees - one in Biology and Chemistry and the other in Medical Health Science.

Mr Toga is pursuing two other Degrees in Medicine and Sur­gery.

"I want to be a surgeon," he said.

Mr Toga visits his hometown, Savusavu, to relax and recuper­ate, to prepare for another battle with the books.
