You never know what event in your life is going to change your life. My inspiration for a career came while both my grandparents were battling cancer. As they received their medications I began to read the Walgreen's pamphlets and help research side effects on their medications for them. I then became interested in understanding the study of a drug's nature, and its properties. At this time I realized the importance of medicine and developed an interest in pharmacology. Pharmacists give some patient consultation and develop an important relationship with their patients. I enjoy assisting others because it allows me to give back to the community. Furthermore my experience as a lifeguard has reaffirmed that my chosen career will reflect my desire to assist others. Pharmacy school is the perfect opportunity for me to pursue a career that mirrors those values.
Throughout my life, I have always seen a great importance of having community leaders in the church. My involvement in church has grown, as I started out as an alter server and I am currently a youth leader in the youth ministry at St. Mark's Catholic Church. Duquesne University will allow me to extend my spiritual goals as I would like to become a Eucharistic minister, and a member of the Knights of Columbus. Through the school's unique commitment to excellence in professional education, Duquesne will help me to grow further in my studies and achieve a high standard of moral values. In addition, Duquesne University can provide an exclusive insight into the world of pharmaceuticals allowing me to become a professional in the art of preparing, and dispensing drugs.
