Personal Narrative: My Application At The Faculté De Pharmacist

Decent Essays
Synthesizing medicine from a leaf sounded like doing magic to me when I was fourteen. My passion for science started after watching a science documentary on Discovery Channel.
My application at the Faculté de Pharmacie in Haiti got rejected two times but that quote:"Don't surrender, fight for your dream, God is faithful !"gave me strength. I worked three years then moved to the Dominican Republic to study pharmacy. Even if I didn't speak Spanish I kept my GPA high focused on my dream.
Surviving the earthquake,in January 2010 made me feel as a child of hope; giving up is not an option for me.Being aware that a pharmacist has a respected and reliable role in the community,I returned to Haiti and founded an association to help people socially
