Pharm School Personal Statement

Healing the sick is the focal point of my life. I believe that the power of medicine will help me achieve my goals. It was through both the advice and stories from many influential people in my life that have led me to pursue a career as a pharmacist. I am independent, responsible, determined, and motivated. My personal interactions with patients made me realize that I also feel the patients' pain when they're hurting. I love to do research, see the patients and give them needed medications, see them get well and be healthy. There is popular quote for pharmacist, “an honest pharmacist is a clement mother;” words that I keep in mind, and together with the medical knowledge I'll learn, will guide me in my quest to becoming a great pharmacist. There are many challenges that ahead in this pursuit, but I would have put my heart into this goal, therefore, I am ready for any struggle to achieve this lifelong dream.
My family also fueled my inspiration to pursue medicine. In my early childhood, my grandma contracted systemic lupus erythematosus, which, at that time, had no cure. I still remember taking care of her every day after school – it was heart – wrenching, and I often tear up whenever I saw her suffer. To this day, one of my most vivid memories of her was the moment I saw her feeding through a tube connected through her nose; she struggles to breathe is forever etched on my mind. I wish was able to do something to keep her with me. After systemic lupus erythematosus took my grandma away forever, I found my purpose in life: to become a pharmacist.
After completed Medical Assisting program at Carrington College California, I continued my educational that enrolled to Grand Canyon University with major in biology with an Emphasis in Pre Medicine. I love science major and doing researches. I completed all of my hard work in biology, physics, inorganic chemistry, math, and other science classes. Especially, I'm proud about my hundred percents on American Chemical
