Postcard from a

Matthew Posa ‘03

Grad

After I graduated from SAC in 2003, I aspired to become a leader in health care in order to help as many people as I could. I grew up knowing how I could do this since my father was a chiropractor. While at SAC, my focus was always in the sciences and I paid particular attention to biology. Once I graduated, I went on to study at Dalhousie University where I received my BA in biology. Soon after, I headed to Sydney, Australia, and commenced four years of chiropractic training and medical diagnosis. Jordan Ross ‘03 was also studying in Australia and we had the opportunity to meet up in Sydney. While at school I was the Macquarie University Chiropractic Student Association president, as well as the class rep for the Australia Chiropractic Association. During my final year, I was added to the teaching staff as one of the undergraduate teaching assistants in chiropractic adjusting skills. The more I learned about the human body, the more I saw how much of an influence chiropractic can have on someone’s health. I learned that a full 80% of the population is chronically ill and for the first time in history, the youth of today are not expected to outlive their parents. With this in mind I knew my desire to help could not be accomplished by prescribing medicine. I am currently working at my father’s clinic and have been blessed by his guidance and support. SAC gave me the environment to grow as a future leader, made me strong in my beliefs, and instilled the discipline to achieve my dreams. My best friends and classmates Armen Khajetoorian, Luc Zoratto, David Amadori, Daniel John, David Banwell, and Mike Tzimas, among many others, are those I see often. Without St. Andrew’s and those I have met here, I would not have the same drive to be the best.
