My Life Well Lived

Improved Essays
According to Abraham Lincoln, “it’s not the years in your life count, it is the life in your years”. This quote is important to me because I believe a life well lived is that which has impacted the society in a positive way. My parents deserted me at the age of four due to reasons unknown to me but known to them. I lived most of childhood with my grandparents who greatly took care of me. However, while I was in high school, my grandpa was diagnosed with diabetes Mellitus, which had affected his kidney functions. The little money we had were insufficient for the medical bills. This made me peddle food and other items to offset some of the bills. I peddled for months in an effort to get him stabilized so that the dialysis he underwent every week would …show more content…
I would also love to own a pharmaceutical company which would be involved in the making of drugs that might someday cure that human immune virus and perhaps a cure for cancer. I would also love to serve in communities that lack access to good health facilities either in the United States or abroad.

    For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend North Dakota State University. My dad and sister are NDSU alumni, so furthering my education where they did provides us with a unique bond. Additionally, not many of my relatives attended college, allowing me to see the difficulties in providing for oneself and family without a college degree. Although I know the next seven years are going to be challenging, extremely strenuous, and will push me to the edge of my comfort zone, the satisfaction of administering medical services to those who need them will make it worthwhile. Not only will I be able to care for others with a Pharm.…

    I decided to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU) for a variety of reasons, including the location of its campus, because I was offered a full scholarship, and of course, because of the pharmacy program. Moreover, I believe that I am the ideal candidate for being a part of FAMU’s pharmacy program. To begin, FAMU is located in Tallahassee, Florida, a city that I had wanted to attend college in since I was in elementary school. Tallahassee is a city of containing and surrounded by many events and opportunities, so no matter your preferred “scene,” you are likely to be able to find something you do. Another upside to FAMU’s location is that it also places me very close to my mother and the rest of my maternal family, who I had previously not gotten to see almost since elementary school.…
