I have always wanted to work in the medical field, but whenever I mention that I want to become a pharmacist, I usually get two types of responses: “Why? Pharmacy is boring and really difficult,” or “Can you create X for me then?” For one, pharmacy and medical research is not boring, it is magical. Science is simply modern magic, and learning how to utilize this magic for others sounds amazing. Research and compounding, in particular, feel like real-life magic, where I can discover and create for the benefit of others. I never really understood why people would try to discourage others from their passion simply because of difficulty. Good things are seldom easy in the first place, and the fact that I often heard this from people who were entering or already in the pharmaceutical field made this even more puzzling to me. I expected some advice, not discouragement. Nevertheless, my passion for pharmaceutical research and compounding never wavered. And two, I want the chance to help others through my research. I want to be able to help others in a slightly more direct way while also cultivating my knowledge and love of science. Exactly where my research will take me, I cannot be sure. But, that is a part of doing research, learning and uncovering different possibilities, problems, and solutions. My time in pharmacy would lead to me earning a Doctorate of Pharmacy and would help solidify my position as a research pharmacist. Furthermore, I want to get the chance to dissect different medicinal mysteries and create elegant solutions from my findings. I want to help compound specific medicines for patients who may not get what they need from the current market. I want to be able to see to it myself that the medicine that goes out to people is as effective as possible. I want to contribute to the variety of ways that an ailment can be treated or even cured. There are people, like my aunt, who tend to receive the worst of the side effects from their medication. There are parents, guardians, and caretakers whose children throw a fit at the thought of taking medicine, whether because the method of taking it is undesirable, or simply because cough syrup tastes terrible. Everyone is unique and their needs can vary wildly from person to person. Because of this, I want to be the one to help these people find the relief that they need as effectively and safely as possible. The sheer individuality of a person’s needs is also why it is important to have high diversity in the medical field. When there are several people with their own unique histories and nuanced experiences, some people are just naturally more equipped to deal with certain medical issues compared to others. And when everyone has their own unique lives and personal issues, it can mean the world for them to have access to the best medicine possible. Relief can be as simple as soothing a sore throat or easing a migraine, to something as complex as cures for rare diseases and treatments or even cures for different cancers. This is why I adore pharmacy, it is because I can help positively change the lives of others.

Leadership is more than a title for the charismatic and unshakable. It is more than the student who gets elected as class president or the person who creates a successful nonprofit organization. At its core, leadership is guiding and supporting others, whether through bold statements and grand decisions or through subtle actions and steadfast support. It is an important trait that allows others to reach their fullest potential. It is a role that is taken up and put down for the sake of others. Leadership is not something to t=be taken lightly, but rather, it is something that can benefit everyone when handled eloquently. For me, my AP Drawing class during my junior year of high school only cemented my belief that leadership is when people are allowed to become stronger together. My AP Drawing class only had a handful of students. The classroom was shared with an even smaller AP 2D Design class. Despite the class' size, the room was always filled with an artistic chaos as students tried to finish their portfolios. While concentrating on my own portfolio, I fell into the classroom’s delicate balance between spending enough time on their art to produce quality work and trying to meet tight deadlines to finish everything in time. This balance, however, quickly faded as the portfolio deadline drew closer. I was able to finish my art pieces in time, so I could get ahead and craft my written responses, but many of my classmates were still scrambling. So, I tried to do what I could to help them finish strong. I would throw out ideas for them to build off of to starve off art block, and I tried to keep motivation high. Everyone had a unique and individualized vision; however, that only meant that outside opinions were very useful in sparking creative bursts. I tried to organize our workflow to make the most of the time we had left to finish up. In turn, I would get some help in refining the last of my art pieces. We all worked together to build each other up and there was a mutual gain from the entire experience. I was able to show leadership during a time where it was most needed. Under the stress of AP exams and other end-of-the-year events, leadership became an invaluable trait. Leadership is what allowed me and all of my classmates to grow and flourish.

Ever since I was a child, I knew that I wanted to work in the medical field. However, whenever I tell someone that I wanted to become a pharmacist, would I usually get two types of responses: “Why? Pharmacy is a boring and really difficult career,” or “Can you create X for me then?” For one, pharmacy and medical research are not boring, they are magical. Science is like modern magic. Just because something can be understood does not make it any less fantastical. In addition, learning how to utilize this magic for others sounds amazing. I never really understood why people would try to discourage others from their passion simply because of difficulty. The fact that I often heard this from people who were entering the pharmaceutical field made this fact even more puzzling. I expected some advice, not discouragement, from people who were more experienced than me. Nevertheless, my fiery passion for medical research and pharmacy never flickered or wavered. And two, I want the chance to help others through my research, and a Doctorate of Pharmacy would be more than helpful to get me there. Exactly where my medical research will take me, I am not entirely sure. But, that is a part of doing research, learning and uncovering different possibilities, problems, and solutions. A Doctorate of Pharmacy would help solidify my position as a research pharmacist. With my degree, I want to get the chance to dissect different medicinal mysteries and create elegant solutions from my findings. I want to be able to see to it myself that the medicine that goes out to people is as effective as possible. I want to contribute to the variety of ways that an ailment can be treated or even cured. There are people, like my aunt, who tend to receive the worst of the side effects from their medication. There are parents, guardians, and caretakers whose children throw a fuss at the thought of taking medicine, whether because the method of taking it is undesirable, or simply because cough syrup tastes terrible. Everyone is unique and their needs can vary wildly from person to person.

I value my subtle leadership. To me, leadership is more than a title for those who are charismatic and unshakable, stern and caring in their command. It is more than the student who gets elected as class president in the student council or the person who creates a successful nonprofit organization overseas. At its core, I see leadership as someone, or several people, guiding and supporting others, whether through bold statements and grand decisions or more subtle actions and steadfast and unwavering support. My AP Drawing class during my junior year of high school only cemented my belief that leadership, whether loud or quiet, is when people are nurtured and allowed to become stronger together. My AP Drawing class only had a handful of students. The classroom was shared with an even smaller AP 2D Design class, totaling less than a dozen students in the classroom at a time. Despite the class' size, the room was always filled with artistic chaos as students tried to finish their portfolios in time. While concentrating on my own portfolio, I fell into the classroom’s delicate balance between spending enough time on their art to produce inspired quality work and trying to meet tight deadlines to finish everything in time. That balance, however, was slowly being frayed at the seams as the AP portfolio deadline drew closer. I was able to finish my art pieces in time, so I could get ahead and craft my written responses, but many of my classmates were still scrambling to finish their artwork. I tried to do what I could to help them finish their portfolios strong. I would throw out ideas for them to build off of to starve off the art block. I tried everything, from advice on what medium would be best in terms of speed and versatility, what techniques are best for said medium, and the rare edit towards composition. I tried to keep the class’ motivation high, and I tried to organize our workflow to make the most of the time we had left to finish up. In turn, I would get some help refining the last of my art pieces. We worked together to build each other up. This subtle leadership, where there is no clear title or authority, but people are being guided and improving all the same, is one of my personal traits that I value most. Even in my future journey, I see myself being someone who would build up others and lend a helping hand, no matter how big or small the action may be.
