Pharmacy is a prolific field of study that is taking a prime position in the world of academia. It is quite demanding and needs completeness and vigilance. Thus, by going through pre-pharmacy, it will help me reshape my educational and career aspirations by bringing into reality what pharmacy entails through prerequisite coursework.

My childhood unleashed a desire to know how things worked and why things happened; this soon flourished into a more specific interest in the field of Pharmacy. Medicine fascinated me, driving my obsession to understand all of the dynamics of pharmaceutical drugs. My studies in Biology at New Jersey City University, and my current occupation as a Certified Pharmacy Technician, led my desire to go further with my education in pursing an advanced degree as a Doctor of Pharmacy. My undergraduate career has prepared me extensively, such as requiring that I take on a wide range of science-based courses including Biochemistry, Genetics, and Microbiology. My hard work and dedication led to me being on the Dean's List for a number of semesters.

I decided to become a Pharmacy Technician originally from High School. My Junior year at Abilene High school I took an elective that covered the basics of different medical fields. After completing the course my junior year, I decided to move forward with the program. So my Senior year in High School I enrolled in dual credit and joined the Pharmacy Tech program at McMurry University. At the time I was also apart of the Abulene High volleyball team. With everything going on between after school practice and games, I had to choose between the two and I chose volleyball. Sad but true because volleyball didn’t take me very far.

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.

Every since I was a little girl I never got to see what success really was, I grew up in a family that wasn’t the best that wasn’t truly even a family. But that is okay because if it wasn’t for them then I wouldn’t have achieved what will hold my entire future. I became successful and that is all the success I need to see. Finally at the age 28 I have realized that as long as you push yourself and set goals for yourself, nothing that has happened to you or that is in your path can stop you. You can have anything in the world you want as long as you put your mind to it and never give up. And finally as of last year I got my pharmacy degree.

This spring, I will become the first person in my generation to graduate from a four year institution. Coming from a small high school class of only forty students, college has presented me with many more responsibilities, and countless opportunities. An opportunity to set an example for my four younger siblings, and also a chance to pursue a career for myself. With education being so vital, a higher education is something that I deeply valued and sought to attain. Going into college, I was certain that I wanted a career in healthcare, however I was undecided about where.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in physics in 2009 in Vietnam while I witnessed two deaths of my two 65 years old uncles due to medical related errors. Their unnecessary deaths at that relatively young age struck all my family members. I asked myself whether, if someone in my family had worked in the health care field, it might have been possible to save my uncles’ lives. As a science major student in Vietnam, I felt an urge to apply scientific knowledge to improve the situation. Over time, I came to realize that, in order to make a difference, I would need to gain a deeper background in understanding the mechanisms and the principles behind the field of medicine, a pharmacy major.

This past Fall was a very difficult time for me both academically and personally. Within a few weeks of starting my freshman year of college at High Point University, I became very homesick. Along with adjusting to a new academic environment, I questioned my major and struggled with my new classes. I quickly learned that I needed to work even harder to succeed in my classes. I utilized all the resources that were given to me: I met with my professors during office hours, started study groups, requested tutors and met with academic advisors.

My Name is Stanley Azubike I come from a family that has had to work hard in order to bring me to the place I am today. My parents grew up in Nigeria, Anambra State. As children of hardship, they were dedicated to giving me and my sisters a promising future in the free and promising land of America. Having gone through hard times and sufferings from a young age, they adapted themselves to a self-motivation way of life in making sure we do well in school, go to college, graduate and make something great of our lives and surpass their expectations.

My study of chemistry has further increased my interest in becoming a pharmacist. I am very keen on how the medicine works and also how to use them. I am very interested about chemistry the skills I will gain in this area will give me a better understanding of the chemistry of making medicine.

A life changing event within my family several years ago influenced my interest in the pharmaceutical field and my desire to attend Shenandoah University’s School of Pharmacy. At the age of 6, my sister was hospitalized for two months. I was 7 at the time. It was a difficult and frightening time for my family and me as my sister was fighting rheumatic fever. This disease caused inflammation and holes in her heart. Throughout the duration of her hospitalization, doctors were constantly working to help her recover by doing a variety of tasks, such as checking her pulse, examining her, and conducting a variety of tests. I vividly recall sitting in my sister's hospital room. Nurse Lisa was speaking to me, explaining that my sister was going to

When I first started out as a Pharmacist, I met a vibrant and engaging 90-year-old man who needed a vast range of medication to keep him going on a daily basis. As I counseled him about the new medication he had to take, I asked him how he was able to maintain such positive energy towards life. He said: “Thanks to you all [doctors and pharmacists], I am able to stand right here knowing that even when my heart stops, you would do the best you can to keep me alive.” Being a pharmacist to me was a high pressure yet rewarding career where I feel comfortable offering my helping hands to our society in need. Pharmacy is a great career where it is educational, require great dedication and discipline.

I find it fascinating that the broad spectrum of medications continues to evolve throughout the years in the health care industry. To be able to help someone by giving them the accurate medication plays a significant difference in people’s lives. During my visit to the hospital earlier this year for a sick family friend, I was feeling empathy for her and other patients lying in the hospital beds. It made me realize how some patients deeply rely on medication, whether it’s to cure diseases or to relieve pain. Medications play an enormous role in easing away the pain, whether it’s temporary or long term. I have always had a previous interest in the way medicine works, but my visit to the hospital only amplified my interest further. The fact that medication plays a vital role in a patient’s life intrigued me to pursue this pharmacy profession.
