My dream is to be wealthy in many aspects of my life .

Hello, my name is Jordan Smith. I am from Saint Louis, Missouri and my first dream since I was little was to be a professional dancer. I’ve been dancing since I was 3 years old. I also have many other passions and talents, like singing and baking. My biggest dream I have is to become a pharmacist. Pharmacy is the clinical health science that links medical science with chemistry. Science is a favorite subject of mine. It has always caught my eye. Being hands-on with certain science projects and learning new information is just the best feeling in the world. The practice of pharmacy requires you to learn about the side effects and interactions between the body and medications. The human body is a beautiful thing and getting to learn how to treat it and help others and educate them on how to properly treat their bodies is one of the more exciting things about pharmacy. With everything going on in this world, I feel the we need more people who are driven regarding careers in medicine. I will help make a large impact on everyone globally. Having that genuine drive to see a healthier world is what motivates me. To educate and reach communities that do not have anyone to teach them about how to treat and maintain their bodies is especially important to me. My hope is to educate people and hopefully they will turn and pass on the information which will end up helping more and more people each day. Incorporating my love of travel, I would like to help others, not only in my country but in others as well. Being only a freshman in college, I know there is so much more to learn and to experience, as each country offers a different level of need and resources for its people. I hope to one day become a mentor for others who are interested in my field of study as I learn more and more each day.. This knowledge will not only help patients but will help individuals, families, and communities who are not familiar with using medications safely. I am only beginning my journey to learning how to treat and maintain my body. Learning about new medications and the effects they have on my body and a different effects it may have on someone else's body, it is very interesting and great information. This journey makes me grateful for the teachers who take time to educate us so that we as well can pass the knowledge on to others . I am excited about my journey in medicine and the positive impact I plan to make globally and for generations to come.

At the age of 10, I found something that truly made me happy. Something that was also a gift, which was dancing. Everyone told me I was very gifted, and every time I got on stage, everyone would smile and cheer my name in the crowd, but they never saw me near the front of the stage or in the middle. They would always have to look further in the rear for me. You may be wondering why I was so far in the back. You would always find me in a corner or near the back because I was always fearful. I was always afraid of what people thought of me or if I would mess up. I missed a few opportunities due to that fear. I took the time to work on myself, to be outgoing and bold, and to find me. Every day I wake up with a positive mindset and speak amazing things about myself because I know I can do great things and the world needs to see those great things. I have now gotten many opportunities ever since I found myself and practiced being positive and bold. I’m here to say, do not let fear stop you from being the amazing person you are meant to be. Don’t let fear stop you from showcasing your amazing skills and talents because there are many out there who see that and use that as motivation to be just as brave and bold as you.

Hello, my name is Jordan Smith. I grew up in Saint Louis Missouri, then moved to Texas in 2019. This move helped me tremendously. I thought I wasn't able to have a big future ahead of me, but I was wrong. My goal is to become a pharmacist, this will take some time to achieve but I am patient. I believe I have a bright future ahead of me. When I achieve this goal, I will be the first doctor in my family. My family is all I have so I will do my best to make them proud and give back to them when this goal is achieved. I have many other career paths I would like to get into. Before I ever thought about pharmacy dance was my first passion. The art of dance is beautiful and has helped me express myself not through just words but dance. I have got to meet new people, travel, and experience so much. I am blessed to have this talent and plan to make this another career of mine.

Hello, my name is Jordan, being patient is very important to me. With being patient it brings me peace. When I am at peace I am my best self. I am able to create and enjoy life. I am a senior in high school and my future career plan is to be a pharmacist. This will take me almost 8 years or so to accomplish and with that, I will need to have patience. Practicing patience at a young age helps me learn ways to cope with different life obstacles. Having patience will help me learn from my mistakes and grow and figure out what I can do better in the future. there is a quote that I will always look back at and it says. “patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting “ by author Joyce Meyer.

Waking up every morning to see another day is a blessing. Each and every new day motivates me to try something new. Do something that I have never done before, what motivates me most is my family. Seeing how they have already graduated college but still Not taking it for granted and working hard every day. Is a great sight to see it gives me hope that I can succeed and do great things. My future also motivates me. The things that I have planned to accomplish are exciting. I look forward to going to pharmacy school, learning new things, and helping others. I believe that I have a great future ahead of me. One filled with great learning experiences, new friends, and growth. Having a goal keeps me going, it helps me stay active mentally and physically. I do not plan to stop with just pharmacy I would like to have multiple careers, do things that I never thought I could do or even consider doing. I believe that everyone should stay motivated and do. Their best to reach any goal that they have this new year.

Taking the time to reflect and appreciate the small things in life Is something I have been doing a lot lately. As I mature mentally I start to think about the little things that bring me joy. Getting to spend time with loved ones is very exciting to me. When the pandemic hit I was unable to see My loved ones, which made me appreciate the time I have now to spend with them. I also took the time to appreciate my parents . I am grateful to be able to talk to my parents About anything and everything. I am a senior in high school and each day gets closer to graduation. I am nervous and scared but I have my parents to help and guide me . I talk about appreciating the quality time you spend with family because Family is forever and a quote that I love says “ other things may change but we start and end with family “. My loved ones always have my back and want what's best for me . I am so grateful to have a strong support system .As a kid you don't see that but, As you get older you learn to appreciate those little family things.

Hi, my name is Jordan and I am a senior in high school. I have chosen to be homeschooled for my safety, due to the pandemic. I have also taken this opportunity to learn more about myself and my capabilities. This choice has been so helpful in many ways. I could find a career path that I truly loved and other careers I would like to pursue. Without the peer pressures that come with traditional schools. A lot of my family members are in the medical field. Which made me think it was something that I would never even consider. However, I was wrong: I would like to be a pharmacist. This choice wasn't influenced by my family; it was my choice. I value helping others and there are many other ways to do so. Mine will be through pharmacy. I dream of a bright future full of wealth, happiness, and love. Along with pharmacy, I know this will help make my other dreams come true. I am currently exploring more careers and plan to not stop at just pharmacy. I am special and I know I can do anything. More is to come, and this is just the start of my bright future and my journey to bring positive change to the world.

Being capable of finding the opportunity to unwind and breathe is extremely essential, especially if you are a busy person. Even if you aren't,you should still take time to relax and unwind. I am a Senior in high school, preparing to graduate and transition into adulthood .This can be very stressful,so it is important to make sure that I keep positive and take some time to enjoy myself. I typically start my time with affirmations. I speak positive phrases into my everyday life and also throughout my day. When you begin your time relaxing, speaking positive words will certainly transtion you into tranquility, and your day can become far better than you expected. After affirmations I consume a healthy and balanced breakfast . Following breakfast, I start my school day. I am homeschooled, so whenever the work tends to get a little frustrating I go to take a rest and get some fresh air. Later I partake in an at home work out. When my workout is finished I take my shower.My favorite part of my shower is a nice Tree Hut sugar scrub. A nice sugar scrub keeps my skin very smooth, and it is very unwinding. After my shower, I light a candle, turn on nice calming music. After a day of school, I love to take some me time. Time to listen to calming music and smell my amazing candles. I then read a great book and off to bed to prepare myself for another amazing day. Self-care doesn't always have to be buying the most expensive things or going places. You can simply light a candle, put on some great music and relax. It's that simple. Everyone should prioritize self care, it is needed and can improve your quality of life !

Hi, my name is Jordan Smith and I have a growth mindset. A growth mindset requires you to have positive thinking when it comes to challenges or setbacks. This focuses on self-perception and the belief that this will affect the outcome. People with growth mindsets believe that their talents and skills can improve over time. This mindset helps many individuals take on more challenges and to keep getting back up and trying again. It is always important for people to believe that they can grow and develop their skills and intelligence. We are all human, we make mistakes, but we must recognize that practice makes progress and encourages us to try new things. This philosophy can help more people find themselves and find what truly makes them happy. A growth mindset can give more motivation and positivity. You will start to see things differently and be able to take on new challenges. I was always afraid that I couldn’t teach myself how to do anything, but I proved myself wrong. A historical figure I admire is Walt Disney. Walt had a growth mindset; he was an animator, cartoonist, voice actor, film producer, and entrepreneur. He was willing to take risks with his talents. Even in the beginning, Walt wasn't very successful, but he kept going. He was fired from a newspaper editor for “lack of imagination “. These challenges didn't stop him, Walt and his brother funded Walt Disney productions which is now one of the best-known motion picture production companies in the world. There are many stories like this, validating that having a growth mindset is very important. I hope that more people learn from their experience and keep going, same as Walt.

Hi, my name is Jordan, and my future career goal is to become a pharmacist. Pharmacy is not my only dream; I am currently taking courses to learn coding as well. My love of sciences keeps me motivated to learn new things. My drive to learn causes me to strive for things I never thought I would be capable of. I now have a growth mindset, meaning, you never give up you try new things you’ve never thought possible for yourself. I have become more open minded, enabling me to take in more and new information. I no longer limit myself and I believe that my abilities can be further developed through hard work and dedication. A Doctor of Pharmacy is something that I thought I could never accomplish due to the amount of discipline it takes to complete the course work, but I refuse to quit or limit myself any longer. I realized I had to make a change within! My thoughts and focus had to change, so in choosing to become a Doctor of Pharmacy I decided to challenge myself to become someone who would make a major impact in my communities. My love for caring for others and educating them on how to care for themselves are additional perks to this career path. While there are many ways to impact my local and surrounding communities, I choose to do that through medicine. I am excited to be a part of the improvement of others health and looking forward to bringing better quality of life.

Hi, my name is Jordan Smith; I am 17 years old; I attend Connections Academy located in the Houston Independent School District. I love culinary arts. I also love to sing and paint.

Most of my family members are in the medical field, which is one of the reasons I started to get into these careers. My mom and my grandmother are nurses the two people that help me become a better person everyday, teaching me about the medical field and what keeps them going within their lives as well as their careers. With everything going on in this world, I feel the we need more people who are driven regarding careers in medicine. I will help make a large impact on everyone globally.

The meaning of joy is a feeling of immense pleasure and happiness. Joy is a feeling like no other, I find joy in giving to others. Helping others is what makes me happy, giving them advice from my experience so they will not make the same mistakes as I did; that is what brings me joy. Spending time with family is one of my favorite things in the world. I am so thankful and filled with joy to have amazing family members to help me, teach me, and guide me through my journey. During this time, it is hard to find joy, but when you find your peace and the things that make you smile, then you will find your joy. I also find joy in baking sweet treats like cookies and cakes; everyone has their way of finding their joy. I would like to let people know that you can find your joy in anything and that whatever situation comes you will find your joy in that. Find what makes you laugh and smile; there was a point in time where I thought I would never be able to find my joy. Having someone like your mom or a friend to talk to or just be around, as well as spending time with just yourself. Figuring out who you are and what you like can help you find your joy; sometimes you just need a little time to yourself. Find your peace, speak positively when you speak positively, and do positive things,and your life will change. You will feel happier and that is where you will find your joy as well. I hope during this time many people find their joy and find themselves as I did. Everyone should take this time to find their joy & themsleves .
