Ever since I was little, I was always considered the caretaker of the group. Whether it was making sure all of my friends had enough to eat at lunchtime or being the first person people come to when they had a problem they needed to solve.

In my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to major in but the time to apply for college came around so I chose pharmaceutical sciences allowing me to decide later on if I wanted to take the pharmacy route or the medicine route. I was worried that I wouldn’t like pharmacy because I thought it was pretty boring

Life’s a climb, but the view’s great What do I want to do when I’m older? What college do I want to go to? How am I supposed to know this, I don’t even know what I want to eat for lunch! When I was little, I would always watch Hannah Montana, which was my all-time favorite show. I was convinced that when I grew up, I would become a popstar.
