I feel like as humans we tend to make a routine for ourselves and before we know it we cannot go beyond it. The effort to learn something or do something different becomes tiresome. Our lives are conditioned to be a routine; eat, sleep, go to school (college now) and most dreadful of all, learn. It is not come as a surprised as when school is over we come home and toss our book bags anywhere, but, near. We do not want to be reminded of learning (until the next morning). So, for me my life became a sort of routine and I was totally fine with that. I was okay with my typical boring high school life with seeing the same friends and teachers and doing basically the same thing everyday.

The pharmacy became my main source of motivation. With all the caring pharmacists providing me inspiration and hope; I began to enjoy visiting the pharmacy and I yearned for each visit.

Learning how people with different diseases or problems with their body adapt to different exercise techniques to keep them

Dedicating the next four years of my life to a professional school is a challenge. Certainly, paying for pharmacy school will be difficult; however, I am convinced that it is my only true option.

My name is Ngoc Huynh. I was born and reared in Vietnam. I have been in the United State for three and a half years as an International Student. When I was a little child, every time I was taken to a doctor or a hospital for some medical reasons, I remember very vividly a pharmacy where my prescription was realized. I saw a pharmacist wearing a white uniform and with a smile and courtesy gave my mother a medicine that supposed to make me well.

The field of pharmacy is a growing, but at the same time stagnant. It is growing because it is changing as the healthcare system is changing. After the changes in the healthcare system, the field has included pharmaceutical care in its mission.
