Career Accomplishments

From there, I began to explore more of what a career in pharmacy would mean and take the steps necessary to pursue my dream. As I reflect on the past and look forward, becoming a Doctor of Pharmacy is still the clear answer to achieving both my immediate and long-term goals. My immediate goal is to work towards additional education to be better equipped to utilize my undergraduate degree. In particular, I have a strong interest in applying my knowledge of biochemistry to the area of pharmacy in order to better understand how different medications work, how to help patients understand their medications, and how to solve problems to better care for patients. Ultimately, through achieving a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, I desire to develop a meaningful career that would allow for life-long learning and impacting lives.

My upbringing combined with my rigorous academic pursuits and AROTC training has bestowed upon me many qualities that would benefit KU School of Medicine. Both ROTC and the pre-medicine discipline are demanding fields and balancing them has required me to be tenacious and a strong leader who can adapt to everyday's unique needs. The constant relocation of my childhood has taught me to adaptability; a strength that has only grown through military training and my studies. Balancing the two presented many challenges and if hardship teaches anything, it is tenacity. I have been tested both physically and mentally and achieved much as an undergraduate. I look forward to facing new challenges in my future and pushing to greater heights. I've also developed a strong leadership persona. I have learned through experience that I possess charismatic leadership, which naturally draws others to me and gives me the opportunity to inspire and motivate them. I look forward to sharing these with KU.

Pharmacy is something that i didnt think about when i first started trying to get my goals together . All I knew was that i wanted to work in the nursing field. As i embark on my journey to become a pharmacy, i see it is more to it than just putting things in the computer. I also learned that there a quite a few different types of pharmacies. My top two choices were Mail Order Pharmacy and Hospice pharmacy . THis two are very different but also similar at the same time . Being on the outside looking i always thought it was one type of pharmacy , but this course taught me very differently . Through my journey, i took interest in two more pharmacies . These pharmacies are Long Term Care Pharmacy and Telepharmacy. Let me give you some info on

The career I have chosen is to be a pharmacist. The job title for this career is mostly known as a pharmacist. A pharmacist 's main job is to hand out prescriptions and tell people how to safely use the pills (“Summary”). I chose this career for many reasons. The first reason is because I want to help people in any way I can. Another reason is because I knew someone that worked at the pharmacy. I have gone in many times to watch what they do and something about it is interesting

As a junior in High School, working in a pharmacy would be a new experience for me, but I have never let the fear of the unknown prevent me from pursuing what I am passionate about. I would love to become a pharmacist one day because I want a career that will enable me to help others. Having the knowledge that I will be making the necessary medications to help people feel better will give me a tremendous amount of satisfaction in my

My primary interest in a career in Pharmacy came from an overall interest in medicine and health care in general. As a third grader, I had the first severe asthma attack that I can remember that caused the first of several hospital stays. By happenstance, that time sparked my curiosity about medicine. As an eight year old, I wondered just how this magical mist that came through a mask was able to give me a freedom to breath that my body wasn 't couldn 't give me on its own. Throughout high school and the beginning of college, I tailored my education to focus on biology and medicine, as well as finding time to interact with patients as I pursued a career in medicine. However, it was not until I began working as a pharmacy technician for CVS Pharmacy that I came to understand that this was the career my passion was leading to me to. I had shadowed other health care professionals before based on my interest. These shadowing experiences included a pediatrician, family practice physician, and a physical therapist. Each of those experiences were useful to me because, while they were interesting, they all seemed to lack something that left me wanting more. As a hopeful pharmacist, I will have a career that I feel passionate about while being able to provide for my loved ones at the same time.

The career path that I have chosen for myself is pharmacy technician. I have always wanted some sort of pharmaceutical job, and a pharmacy technician seems like a career that would be do-able and enjoyable for me.

In selecting a career, every person follows certain drives, justifications, and guidelines. A variety of factors influenced my choice of pharmacy as a career. Having observed countless drug-drug and drug-body interactions, volunteering as a pharmacy technician and in different positions in healthcare, I was able to see the impact pharmacists have on patient lives and the mutual love they have for their patients. I was pleased to see the effect pharmacists have on the quality of care their patients receive. My lifelong goal was to find a career that would allow me to work directly with the public and make a difference.

I have a great interest in pharmacology because I want to be involved in medicine. I started becoming interested in medicine at a young age when my mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I wanted to know what I could do to help her so I turned first towards her medicine. She had bottles upon bottles of pills, and even syringes she injected into herself. She had them laid neatly in a row on the counter, and a syringe disposal box in our kitchen cupboard. Of course I was too young to really understand anything but I learned to recognize different pills and understood they were for different things. I would retrieve pillows, and bottles, and soy milk with ice in it for her. I helped to feed her jell-o and watched helplessly as she struggled

A goal that I was not able to accomplish was getting first place in a body fat competition with my friends. I unfortunately got second place. I was not successful because I did not work hard enough to lose the extra body fat. I lost only lost the competition by a few tenths of a percent. At first I was very upset with myself for losing, but thankfully I got over it very quickly. Today I view this as a learning experience to try harder.

The career that I am interested in pursuing is a Pharmacists. The number one reason I have decided to become a pharmacist is because I want to help and assist others. The satisfaction of me helping a patient get better quickly is the motivation that drives me. The second reason is the act of working with other health care professionals. Pharmacist have to communicate with other professionals as a team to avoid errors. Communication and connection is a major key in today’s society, in which I like with a passion. The big career dream began when my older cousin sister became the first in the family to graduate from college with a college degree. Her getting a well-paying job and taking care of my aunt and uncle led me to work hard and achieve pharmacy just like her. HCC will help me pursue my goals by helping me get high grades and achieve a high GPA. By me getting an Associates in Science I would then transfer to a big university like University of Houston to continue for higher education.

I am hard working, ambitious and creative. Many who know me say that I am super organized, very social and good at noticing details. I love to work with others as I see it as an opportunity to learn and to gain a new friend. I have acquired many leadership experiences from Key Club, STEM, Swim managing, band leadership, etc. Each of these experiences has taught me something different. For example, being the Boy’s Swim Team manager I learned how to work with a group of 70 teenage boys. Also, with all the extracurricular activities that I do, I am superb at managing my time. What I can contribute to Youth Council is all the knowledge that I have gained over the years through all the activities I do and fresh, new ideas.

My desire to help people is a major factor in my decision to become a pharmacist. I have aspired to be a pharmacist since I was in the eighth grade. I have taken several different steps to assist me in attaining my dream. The classes I have completed to aid me with my goal have been very stimulating. I attended a pharmacy camp that truly enlightened me and made me understand how much work it will require to become a pharmacist. I have done other activities as well to improve my goal of becoming a pharmacist. I have visited specific colleges that have pharmacy programs and I have completed research on the job market for a pharmacist and the salary I would receive. My background has prepared me for the work and effort it will involve for me to

Choosing a career was no simple decision. As much as I would have liked a life-changing event to help with the process, my decision to pursue pharmacy was a gradual one. It started from my experience at a summer program for high school students that exposed us to different career fields in health care. Listening to the representatives’ seemingly endless enthusiasm for their profession and learning about how they apply their knowledge really gave me a grasp of what a fulfilling career can be. While a pharmacist was not among the health care representatives in the program, this experience allowed me to better appreciate health care.
