My Ambition In Pharmacy

Improved Essays
Ambitions, dreams and why I think pharmacy is the best career for me.

Pharmacy is an interesting, highly trusted and ever changing profession that plays a vital part in the health care system. The main purpose of this profession is to improve an individual 's quality of life. In order to prepare for such a lifelong commitment to society, I need to have a degree as a doctor of pharmacy.

For example, I have visited the pharmacy on several different occasions, sometimes to pick up a prescription and sometimes for consultation about a particular medication. I am being taking care of, reassured and treated with respect by the pharmacist. I love the treatment I receive whenever I go to the pharmacy, so I will one day love to return the same treatment to another person who needs help. I have also become attracted to Pharmacy for a career as it brings together different branches of science (Chemistry, Biology and Math) and because this profession has direct effects in the lives of …show more content…
I have a passion in applying logical scientific thinking and knowledge of natural laws to analyze and solve problems occurring in a Pharmacy. In Biology, I have had the opportunity to study and understand how the human anatomy (organs, tissues, cells etc.) works which will help me to understand more how drugs metabolizes and interacts with different organs and parts of the body. Also, with the knowledge I have in mathematics I can estimate the correct dosage of a drug required for a patient in hospital pharmacy. I have worked in a pharmaceutical company and I am a little more experience with drug production, but working in a pharmaceutical research lab has reinforced my passion for this profession. Though working in the lab is more challenging, I will prefer working directly with people in the community because it will help me to become more exposed to other medications. Moreover, I will directly interact with the community in which I will serve as Pharmacists are becoming more actively involved with the community health

    As I sat anxiously in my desk the last day of high school, I felt compelled and overwhelmed to decide what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I knew I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare because of my mother, who was a registered nurse. Witnessing the love and care my mother had for every patient even when she was not on the clock really inspired the drive for me to impact the lives of others just as I saw her do. Although after I shadowed one of my mother’s colleagues, I knew I could not handle the gory aspects that are associated with most healthcare professions; however, this shadowing experience led me to discover my initial desire to help others and make a difference. I owe my foremost interest in pursuing a career in pharmacy to my paternal grandparents.…

    Eyes twitching; body swollen; hands desperately trying to stop shaking; stomach nauseated – I had never anticipated walking into my pharmacy interview in such a condition, but with unyielding tenacity, I was resolute on becoming a step closer to realizing my dream of becoming a pharmacy student. Less than two days prior to the interview, I experienced one of the most joyful, yet also painful days of my life. The day started at 5 AM with a dosage of Pitocin, then later Demerol, progressing into a dosage of Stadol, leading up to two epidurals, and finally a spinal block and caesarian surgery. Finally, with enraptured joy, my husband and I held our newborn son. I woke up the next morning to a dosage of Morphine, and with grit took on the task of walking in order to speed up my recovery and thus hospital discharge.…
